Compiled by the meticulous scholar Egerton Sykes, this authoritative reference work catalogues the mythological traditions of cultures beyond the Greco-Roman world, spanning the Norse, Celtic, Egyptian, Mesopotamian, Hindu, and indigenous traditions of the Americas, Africa, and the Pacific, presenting each entry with clarity and scholarly precision.\n\nSykes brings an encyclopaedic rigour to his subject, distilling centuries of comparative mythology into an accessible yet deeply informative volume that stands as an indispensable resource for students, researchers, and armchair mythologists alike. Part of the celebrated Everyman's Reference Library, this dictionary argues implicitly that the myths of the wider world are no less rich, no less complex, and no less worthy of study than those of ancient Greece and Rome. Whether one seeks the trickster gods of West Africa or the creation myths of Mesoamerica, this compact compendium promises to open the door to worlds of wonder that Western tradition has long overlooked — and once opened, that door is very hard to close.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203211665627,"sku":"2026200015466-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/fcb207b7-e3a5-4cfd-bb31-a7b6c5ebdcc8.png?v=1788145867","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200015466-secondhand-everymans-dictionary-of-non-classical-mythology","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
