Codex Mythologica

76 Myths from 19 Civilizations

Seventy-six myths from nineteen civilizations, retold at full narrative length rather than summarised into paragraphs. Greek, Norse, Egyptian, Mesopotamian, Chinese, Turkic, Inuit, Polynesian and Mesoamerican traditions sit side by side, each story given roughly a thousand words and left unsoftened. The arrangement is comparative by design: cultures that never met asked the same questions in the same images — a grieving spouse in Egypt and a grieving mother in Greece, the rabbit a Chinese poet saw in the moon sitting also in the Mexican account.
