Good book for learning about different mythologies and ancient religions throughout the world. Not necessarily an exciting read but great as a reference and surface-level intro to different pantheons, gods, etc. I had to take a star off because it does use some outdated terminology that can be considered offensive, but I guess it makes since considering this book came out in 1984. If you're just learning about these gods, demons, whatever, it can be a little confusing to figure out how all of these different gods are related to each other and where they're from, so I'm making a document for them to sort them into categories. A very thorough book!

Informative, a fine reference to what you seek though it needed some illustrations and photos.
