Since [[Plato]] first coined the term 'mythologia', [[mythology]] has come to hold greater significance and [[power]] as a crucial element of [[civilization]] as a whole. Written by a leading scholar of ancient civilizations, ''A Dictionary of World Mythology'' presents the powerful gods of Greece, Rome, and Scandinavia, the more mystical deities of Buddhist and Hindu India, and the stern [[spirit]]s of the African and American continents. Drawing upon hundreds of myths from around the globe, it not only reveals the vast differences in these civilizations, but also demonstrates the unity of [[humanity|mankind]] in its fundamental need for explanations of the unknown.
