Almost all peoples of the world had mythological ideas about the world around them. This is evidenced by the research of scientists in various fields of science: history, anthropology, religious studies. Wherever people lived, in Europe or Africa, America or Asia, Australia or Oceania, sooner or later, approximately the same worldview system developed, which later became known as mythological. Born at the dawn of mankind, mythology also feels great in the computer era, remaining a source of inspiration for writers and composers. So what are myths and how can they be classified? Who were the Nibelungs, what did the Druids do, what was the name of the muse of astronomy, and how many breeds of mythical Chinese dragons are there? Our book will help you understand these and many other seemingly complex issues.
