From the front dust jacket flap -
All races without exception have possessed a mythology. To trace the outline of the world's mythology is to trace also the pattern of man's development. there has been no age, no civilization that has not probed the mysteries of life and sought to explain them by the graphic means of myth.
The preoccupying questions have remained constant - how was the world created, what force govern man's life, and how best can he make them favorable to him? The Answers have been as varied as the societies that have produced them, ranging from the primitive to the near-sophisticated.
In a book of generous proportions, Pierre Grimal's twenty-three authors survey the myths of the world's principal societies with perception. They analyze the form and function of myth, note its variations and evolution, and examine recurrent themes. they range from the dark, cave-bound rites of prehistoric man, through the system of Egyptian gods, the monotheistic patterns of the ancient near east, the Indian pantheon, and the gods and heroes of classical Greece and Rome. In less commonly charted areas they survey the polytheistic cults of northern Europe, the nature spirits of the American Indians, the sacrificial cults of Central America, totemism in Africa, and ancestor and fetish worship in Oceania.
