5.0 out of 5 stars Useful comparative work, July 1, 2008
This review is from: Gods, goddesses, and myths of creation;: A thematic source book of the history of religions (Paperback)
In his typical fashion, Eliade here has created a well organized sourcebook for the study of comparative mythology and religion. The book is organized by section and includes summaries from various scholars or translations of important mythic texts.

Among others, you will find here portions of the Avestas, portions of the Rig Veda and the Uppanishads, various myths of creation from around the world, etc. Additionally Homeric hymns, works by Hesiod, and even parts of the Koran are included.

I would recommend this work to anyone studying comparative religion or mythology.
