内容説明・目次
内容説明
In this reference, the powerful and evocative mythologies of Asia are revealed in all their glory. An accessible A-Z structure is subdivided into three sections: Western Asian Mythology, Southern and Central Asian Mythology, and Eastern Asian Mythology. Over 500 colour pictures of sacred people and holy places, drawn from original sources, accompany the text from the flood myths of the western lands and the Egyptian temples, to the sacred rivers of Central Asia and the dragon festivals of eastern lands, the encyclopedia splendidly re-creates the rise of many cultures. Travel through exotic realms of high adventure, thrill at the exploits of warrior-gods and become immersed in the ancient stories that still influence life in much of modern Asia. Pictorial features detail important mythological themes: Yin and Yang, the avatars of Vishnu, demons and black magic and the incarnations of the mother goddess. Bringing together the legends of many diverse cultures, this encyclopedia is a reference on the subject.
