Primal Myths: Creation Myths Around the World — Barbara C. Sproul
A comprehensive collection of creation stories ranging across widely varying times and cultures, including Ancient Egyptian, African, and Native American.
“A well-chosen collection, from good sources, well presented for use either as an introduction to the study of mythology or as a convenient reference work and refresher of memory.” -- Joseph Campbell
“Any extensive exploration of mythology will reveal how incredibly heterogeneous human culture is. I know of no book that shows this better than Barbara Sproul's Primal Myths. . . . There is enough charm and truth in this book to allow you to fall in love with humanity again.” -- San Francisco Chronicle's Whole Earth Catalog
“An anthology devoted to myths of creation has long been needed and the selection in this volume is first-rate. A valuable introduction to the variegated ways in which humanity has conceived and remembered its relation to the sacred origin and core of existence.” -- Parabola
