Discovering Mythology - Monsters
By Don Nardo.
Description
Because they had not yet developed the scientific means and knowledge to map and explain the world, the ancients were afraid of what might be lurking in the dark, under the ground, or in uncharted lands or seas. So they envisioned a host of monsters -- giants, demons, dragons, shape-shifters, and the like -- inhabiting these places. Both educational and entertaining, this volume explores monster myths from a wide range of world cultures. - from Amzon
