Can you name the Egyptian god who got chopped into fourteen pieces - or the Norse god who traded his eye for wisdom - or the Greek hero who had to wrestle a lion with his bare hands?
Three manuscripts in one book:
- Egyptian Mythology for Beginners: The Legends of Ancient Egypt Simplified for People Who Slept Through History Class
- Greek Mythology for Beginners: The Myths of Ancient Greece Simplified for People Who Slept Through History Class
- Norse Mythology for Beginners: The Tales of the Vikings Simplified for People Who Slept Through History Class
From the banks of the Nile to the heights of Mount Olympus to the frozen realms of Asgard, the myths of the ancient world are filled with stories so wild, so dramatic, and so strangely human that they've shaped our culture for thousands of years.
This 3-in-1 book brings together the mythology of three civilizations - Egypt, Greece, and the Norse world - in one accessible, entertaining guide written for people who want to finally understand these stories without wading through dusty academic textbooks.
Whether you're new to mythology, revisiting old favorites, or looking for a single book that covers the major traditions in one place, this guide makes the myths of Egypt, Greece, and the Norse world accessible, engaging, and impossible to put down
