British Mythology

This book is committed to checking out the gods and goddesses that the people on the African continent worshiped.

As you learn about the Fenians, Finn, Conan, and Dermot, you can become engaged in a story full of drama, clever thinking, and causes and consequences, both foreseen and unforeseen. Fights, love, and betrayal play a role in the Celtic stories and the Irish folklore from the past. Aside from the fictional stories to entertain and inspire you, there will be chapters devoted to a historical background to enlighten you about the cultural way of thinking, the settings in which these tales evolved, and the belief system they embraced at the time.

This is the ultimate guide to all the Greek (and Roman) heroes, gods and goddesses! You’ll learn about all the best-known ones, like Zeus, Aphrodite, and Heracles, but also about the lesser-known ones, like Hephaestus, Cadmus, and Ion. All the most important stories and backgrounds are in here: The complicated relationships, the drama, the vengeance, the quests, and lots, lots more! Get ready for a treat!

Different regions have different traditions, of course, and you’ll learn more about many of them in this book.
