Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Containing around 1,800 entries this Dictionary covers, in one volume, all the important deities and demons from around the world. The gods of ancient mythology appear alongside the gods of contemporary religion, and `lesser' mythologies and religions are also fully covered. The author provides an extensive network of cross-references, allowing the reader to draw cross-cultural comparisons. The Dictionary will be an invaluable source of information for anyone interested in comparative religion or the diversity of religious views throughout the world.

3.0 out of 5 stars Thick but Shallow, October 23, 2000
By Joel M Sax (Trabuco Canyon, CA USA) - See all my reviews
The number of entries is impressive. The articles themselves are often too short and do little to convey the richness of the literary heritage these figures represent or their place in their original cultures. The appendix in the back of the book, linking the different gods to their functions is helpful, but sometimes there are bothersome errors, like Lurker's insistance that Apollo is a death god. The translator did not take the time to research standard English spellings for some of the gods and goddesses, which can make it hard to find an entry. It should not be one's sole source for mythological reference.
