Critical survey of mythology and folklore : legendary creatures / by Nicosia, Lauraeditor; Nicosia, James F.editor;

Includes bibliographic references and index."Salem Press’s newest title in the popular Mythology & Folklore series profiles famous mythological creatures throughout the world. The fabled beasts of every culture provide a window into human-animal relationships and humanity’s changing relationship with the natural world. Although these beings were often called by different names in various cultures, similarities in appearance, personality, and significance emerge around the globe. These creatures continue to fascinate scholars and are very much a part of literature, art, and culture into modern times. As human society has evolved, the portrayal of legendary creatures has evolved along with it. Whether these beasts serve as threat or protector, or sometimes a little of both, they continue to play a role in our understanding of the world. Algonquin wendigo feature as villains in video games, and the man-eating manticore of ancient Persian myth, who famously left no trace of its prey, is still on the hunt in modern graphic novels. Japanese mythological beings played largely in explanations of natural disasters in ancient times, and they still dominate in today’s anime and manga. Even the Jersey Devil still haunts the southern geographies of New Jersey’s Pine Barrens and has become a revered symbol for the state. This new volume presents introductory sections to the history, cultures, and traditions of several regions, some modern and some historical, as well as individual portraits of the illustrious beasts that reflect our individual and collective psyche. The content is arranged by region and myth cycle. Regions covered include: Africa; the Americas; Egypt; Norse, Celts & Europe; the Far East; Greece; India & Central Asia; the Near East; the Pacific; and the Roman World. Each regional section begins with a number of Overview essays that discuss the literature, mythology, and art of the region."--
