Mythology Pictures/Mythologische Bilder/Motifs Mythologiques

Human culture is unthinkable without myth: myths are deeply rooted in the brains power to structure the world by devising stories and representing them in images. Each culture has its own mythological answers to the questions How did the world come into being? and How do the customs and rituals of my people relate to that world and to the divine forces driving it? Each culture translates these answers into its own distinctive imagery. THE PICTURE ATLAS OF WORLD MYTHOLOGY is an extensive survey of depictions of the gods and their vicissitudes of the various pantheons, of religious symbols, images and objects taken from cultures from all over the world.Pepin Press Staff is the author of 'Mythology Pictures/Mythologische Bilder/Motifs Mythologiques ', published 2007 under ISBN 9789057680861 and ISBN 9057680866.
