Gods and heroes

Korwin Briggs
Book - 2018

Presents an illustrated introduction to the gods, goddesses, and heroes of the world's mythology, featuring over seventy characters from twenty-eight world cultures, comparing them and their stories, powers, and exploits to modern superheroes--from Indra, the Hindu king of the gods who fought a demonic snake to save the earth from drought, to Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, and Okuninushi, the Japanese hero who fought eighty brothers for the crown only to give it up for the chance at immortality.
