Mythology (Visual Reference Guides) by Philip Wilkinson and Neil Philip

Mythology enthusiasts will find a lot of things to love about this book. It is divided into eight sections covering the major myth systems of the world and a few minor ones. The first part introduces the reader to mythology. The next six chapters present the different summarized stories and brief descriptions of the myths from classical mythology to myths in Oceania. The last chapter provide lists of the major recurring deities or heroes across the world, the who's who in mythology.

Not only does the book provide stories but also a plethora of images, trivia boxes, and list of references to enhance the reading experience. These references are helpful for further studies and although the book is not comprehensive, it was able to cover the major myths and recurring themes helpful for students and myth enthusiasts alike. The stories and descriptions are just skeletons of the full-length myths so I still recommend the original manuscripts or translations of the myths for further reading.
