Discover the legendary beasts, divine hybrids, and forgotten spirits that shaped the ancient world.

The Encyclopedia of Mythical Creatures - Greek and Roman Mythology Volume is an essential reference for mythology lovers, worldbuilders, scholars, and fantasy enthusiasts. With 85 meticulously researched entries-from the serpentine Typhon and the triple-bodied Geryon to lesser-known entities like Zelys and the Veritas Serpent-this volume explores the mythological creatures of Ancient Greece and Rome in breathtaking depth.

Every creature is brought vividly to life through:

  • Historical context and literary sources from Homer, Hesiod, Ovid, Virgil, and beyond
  • Cultural functions and symbolic meanings in ancient religion, ritual, and art
  • Unique origin myths and regional variations across the Greek and Roman world
  • Interpretations of modern relevance, from literature to role-playing games
  • Stunning artwork

Whether you're a mythology researcher, fantasy writer, game designer, or student of classics, this book offers a powerful gateway into a world where gods rode hippocamps, sirens lured ships with song, and marble cities trembled beneath the wings of chthonic horrors.
