- Synopsis
- A television journalist and specialist on the anthropology of religions, Jordan addressed his 1993 first edition to students and travelers, describing deities likely to be encountered in studying western civilization and visiting common Asian tourist sites. Here he accounts for a broadening of interest in cultures of the southern hemisphere and some of the less mainstream aspects of European history. For well known deities of past times, he includes such information as origin, known period of worship, centers of cult, art references, and literary sources. Cross-references are abundant, and he includes peripheral mentions (indented) in the index.
