Inhaltsangabe
This title contains over 4000 entries describing the origin and significance of mythological beings, legendary figures, and events from an extensive range of cultures and ages. At the time of publication in 1870 of the original "Dictionary of Phrase and Fable", on which this work is based, there was little interest in or knowledge of the texts, religions and mythology of Eastern, and Far Eastern cultures, which were largely dismissed as "heathen" or "pagan". Even less were the tribal cultures of Oceania, Africa, and the American Indians accepted; they were then considered "savage" or "primitive". It is particularly in these areas that substantial additions have been made to Brewer's text. Since his time, the world has shrunk, and we as humans have discovered the importance and significance of the worldwide range of mythologies and legends, and have a deeper understanding of their unty and diversity. Gods and goddesses, rites and beliefs from religions and cults, fabulous beasts, spirits and monsters are all explained, helping us understand why these symbols and traditions persist and illuminate even in modern cultures.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
Derived from the original Victorian work, Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, the scope of this book has been expanded substantially by J C Cooper, author and lecturer in philosophy, comparitive religion, and symbolism, to encompass cultures other than the Greek and Roman classics on which Brewer based his epic work.
