Description

Award-winning editor Paula Guran presents a diverse reprint anthology collecting classic myths and legends, retold by today's top fantasy writers.

The Native American trickster Coyote... the snake-haired Greek Gorgon Medusa, whose gaze turned men to stone... Kaggen, creator of the San peoples of Africa... the Holy Grail of Arthurian legend... Freyja, the Norse goddess of love and beauty... Ys, the mythical sunken city once built on the coast of France... Ragnarok, the myth of a world destroyed and reborn... Jason and the Argonauts, sailing in search of the Golden Fleece...

Myths and legends are the oldest of stories, part of our collective consciousness, and the source from which all fiction flows. Full of magic, supernatural powers, monsters, heroes, epic journeys, strange worlds, and vast imagination, they are fantasies so compelling we want to believe them true.

This new anthology compiles some of the best modern short mythic retellings and reinvention of legend from award-winning and bestselling authors, acclaimed storytellers, and exciting new talent, offering readers new ways to interpret and understand the world. Adventure with us on these Mythic Journeys...
