Gods & Legends of the World — Myths of Greece, Norse, Egypt, Mesopotamia, India & the Celts

by Newon Lab · 75 pages · PDF

Six great mythologies, told properly — and then the patterns that connect them all. Why do cultures separated by oceans and centuries tell the same stories? Gods & Legends of the World gives you the myths themselves in full, then steps back to show the shared architecture underneath: creation from chaos, the universal flood, the hero's journey, the trickster, and the realm of the dead. What you get inside: • Part I — The shape of myth: what myths do, how myth relates to religion and legend, and why the same stories recur • The recurring patterns — the making and unmaking of the world, the flood, the hero and the journey, the trickster, and the realm of the dead • Part II — The six great mythologies, each with its cosmology, its gods, and its legends: – Greek: from Chaos to the Olympians, the great legends, cautionary tales and transformations, love, loss and the seasons – Norse: the nine worlds and the World Tree, the Aesir and Vanir – Egyptian: the ordered cosmos, the gods of Egypt, Ra and the secret name, the journey through the night – Mesopotamian: creation and divine order, the gods, and the tales from the clay tablets – Hindu: the cosmic cycle, the great gods, the epics, and the churning of the ocean – Celtic: the Otherworld, the divine races, and the Celtic gods • Part III — The great patterns: creation from chaos, the universal flood traced from its Mesopotamian original across cultures, and the hero's journey The stories humanity kept telling, and what it means that we all told them.
