With some emphasis on myths that have influenced the creative arts in Western culture, the author uses an archetypal approach that organizes world myths into the following themes: The Creation Stories, The Flood, The Afterlife, The Apocalypse, and Stories of Archetypal Gods and a Supreme Being. In addition, he includes chapters on Hero Myths, as well as Place and Object Myths. This is a well-written book because of its approach and content.
