With heroic deeds, family drama, pulse-pounding battles, and shape-shifting magic, it’s no wonder that mythology fascinates us all. Packed with facts, Amazing Immortals profiles over eighty of these fantastical beings.

Gaze upon Raijin, the terrifying Shinto thunder god; Odin, the one-eyed Norse ruler; Durga, the multi-armed Hindu goddess of war; the Inuit’s Sedna, who rules over the seas; and Medeina, a protector of Lithuanian forests who is often accompanied by a pack of wolves. Filled with betrayal, intrigue, and impossible feats, these captivating stories entertain us—and may help answer some of life’s biggest questions along the way.
