Myths and Legends of All Nations

"Myths and Legends of All Nations" by Logan Marshall is a compilation of stories from various cultures around the world. It's not a deep academic analysis, but rather aims to be an entertaining introduction to mythology.

The book features famous tales from:

• Greek and Roman mythology (think Zeus, Prometheus, Hercules)
• Germanic cultures (including Norse myths with figures like Beowulf and Siegfried)
• European nations like England, France, Spain, Russia, and Bohemia (epic heroes like El Cid and Roland)
• Other sources are mentioned as well

Marshall presents these myths and legends as a way to explore the common threads of human experience across cultures. He highlights themes of heroism, love, betrayal, and the struggle against nature that resonate throughout these stories.
