Amazing immortals : a guide to Gods and Goddesses around the world / Dinah Williams.

Guide to Gods and Goddesses around the world (portion title)
Williams, Dinah (Dinah J.), (author.).

Summary:

"With heroic deeds, family drama, pulse-pounding battles, and shape-shifting magic, it's no wonder that mythology fascinates us all. Packed with facts and lushly illustrated by more than fifteen artists from cultures around the world, Amazing Immortals profiles over eighty of these fantastical beings. Explore the awe-inspiring adventures, formidable powers, family trees, and animal companions of deities from over thirty pantheons-from gods of fire and water to gods of war and love. Gaze upon Raijin, the terrifying Shinto thunder god; Odin, the one-eyed Norse ruler; Durga, the multi-armed Hindu Goddess of war; the Inuit's Sedna, who rules over the seas; and Medeina, a protector of Lithuanian forests who is often accompanied by a pack of wolves. Filled with betrayal, intrigue, and impossible feats, these captivating stories entertain us--and may help answer some of life's biggest questions along the way."-- Back cover.
