Mythen geben vielen Menschen Antworten auf wichtige Fragen: nach der Entstehung der Welt und des Lebens, dem Jenseits und unbegreiflichen Naturphänomenen. Klar strukturiert und übersichtlich gegliedert, fasst dieser Band die Protagonisten und Handlungen der Mythen von den klassischen Sagen der Griechen und Römer bis zu den Erzählungen afrikanischer Stämme oder Aborigines in Australien zusammen.
