Here, discover the great myths and legends of journeys and quests among different cultures, and learn how they came about and what they mean. This book includes "Thor", "Odysseus", "Sindbad", "Gilgamesh", and the "Quest for the Holy Grail". Quest and journey myths from all over the world have been collected in one volume so you can compare and contrast stories from different cultures and societies. This is a collection of incredible voyages from all over the world, made in the quest of honour, glory, or dazzling rewards, to challenge terrible monsters or obliterate enemies. Superheroes, strange beasts and beautiful women overcome perilous obstacles, pit themselves against raging elements and visit fabulous lands. Colour photographs of real-life locations and artefacts create a superb context for young students to understand the subject. All the key themes of quests and adventurous journeys are included, with gods, heroes and monsters portrayed with beautiful fine-art illustrations, which are sure to fire a child's imagination.
