Whether it's the creation of the world, the fertility of the land, or a history of its people, each culture has its own mythology: a collection of stories that explain the world as it relates to them and that has been passed down through the generations. From heroes and villains to gods and tricksters to floods and the end of the world, discover the myths of the Norse, Greek, Hindu, Inuit, Egyptian, Chinese, Japanese, Native American, and other cultures.

DK Eyewitness Books: Mythology is a visual and informative guide to the stories that prove a central part of the world's peoples.

Series Overview: Each revised Eyewitness book retains the stunning artwork and photography from the groundbreaking original series, but the text has been reduced and reworked to speak more clearly to younger readers.
