"Egyptian Mythology" How did the residents of the ancient Nile River region view the world around them? This simple little book in hand attempts to outline the answer for us. The book consists of three parts. "The Age of the Gods" tells the birth and evolution of the world, as well as the rule of the Egyptian god-kings; "The World of the Living" tells us how the Egyptian gods manifested themselves in nature, and how the Egyptians dealt with the invisible forces around them; "The Myth of Death" tells the ancient Egyptians' belief in the afterlife (i. E. Duat), as well as the hardships they will experience in it and their final fate. This short book "Norse Mythology" will introduce the irritable and quarrelsome Nordic gods-the Asa headed by Odin, the mysterious Vanir, and the mythical world in which they live. The text contains a large number of chapters translated from ancient Norse, which more truly present the appearance of this mythical world and describe for us the events that occurred from the creation of the world to Ragnarok, including the lasting conflicts between gods and giants, the legends or misfortunes experienced by male and female heroes, the disputes, revenge, marriages and murders that occurred between their families, as well as the interactions between gods and mortals, etc. "Celtic Mythology" is a book that comprehensively introduces to the public readers the concept of ancient Western European civilization that we call "Celtic" today, the geographical intervals it includes, the legend system and its core texts. It includes fascinating heroic legends, war epics, legends of magic, transformation and gods from other worlds, as well as rigorous archaeological research and text analysis evidence. In this book, readers will also find and gain an understanding of many familiar faces who appear frequently in movies, games, pop culture, and contemporary novels. "Greek and Roman Mythology" is a book written by professional scholars for the public. It introduces the mythological system of ancient Greece and Rome to the public readers in a rigorous and popular way. Ancient Greek myths are not only colorful and fascinating stories in their own right, but also the source of many of our cultural elements today - from philosophical concepts to artistic works to games and technology. Therefore, this book allows readers to realize the inextricable connections between these myths and today's world.
