【Series Introduction】
In the endless hourglass of time, every civilization has left behind a gleaming seed of mythology. These seeds have drifted through the dawn light of the Euphrates, skimmed the snow line of the Ural Mountains, sunk into the undercurrents of the Volga River, and sprouted anew in the tidal sounds of the Pacific Ocean. This thirty-volume "Divine Atlas" series is a global expedition following the footprints of legend: from the sacred fire rising from the Persian deserts to the long howls of the blue wolves on the Mongolian grasslands; from the vengeful spirits in the dark depths of Japanese wells to the beating shaman drums deep within Korean palaces—all stories reiterate one thing: how humanity uses imagination to explain the world and rituals to approach the unknown.

The series includes 30 titles:
Part 1: 《Turkish Mythology》《Arabic Mythology》《Germanic Mythology》《Japanese Mythology》《Kazakh Mythology》《Persian Mythology》《Korean Mythology》《Greek Mythology》《Slavic Mythology》《Egyptian Mythology》《Mongolian Mythology》《Chinese Mythology》《Indian Mythology》《Romanian Mythology》《Scandinavian Mythology》

Part 2: 《Sumerian Mythology》《Celtic Mythology》《Buddhist Mythology》《Tibetan Mythology》《West Slavic Mythology》《Caucasian Mythology》《Karelian and Ingrian Mythology》《Australian, New Zealand, and Polynesian Mythology》《Mythology of Northern Russia, Siberia, and the Far East》《Central and South American Mythology》《Mythology of the Ural Mountains and Volga River Basin》

Description

Korea has given us not only the reality of North-South confrontation, the Hallyu wave sweeping the globe, and ever-evolving beauty standards but also a unique folklore tradition often overshadowed by the two cultural giants, China and Japan. Korean stories are psychologically nuanced and not distant from us: Princess Bari’s journey across the mountain of the dead resembles both Dante’s “Divine Comedy” and the magical trials faced by heroines in Russian fairy tales. Motifs and images from Korean mythology are often borrowed by popular manhwa and K-dramas: gender-bending adventures (the persistent girl Jacheongbi and the star son Mun), hero’s journey, flower men “Hwarang,” underworld messengers “Joseon Chasa”...

Diving into the fantastical universe of Korean mythology, you will read about:
• The Heavenly Emperor himself proposing to the poor girl Cheongmyeong;
• The legend of the twin brothers, the Sun and the Moon, and the pumpkin seed;
• The birth goddess Samshin Halmoni, the smallpox demon Mother God;
• Cultural heroes, heroines, shamans, and dragons controlling wind, frost, rain, and snow...

You will also learn:
• How a mouse taught Maitreya to make fire;
• How the story of the craftsman Hwang U-yeol echoes the Russian fairy tale of the Frog Princess;
• What life was like in a world with two suns and two moons, where plants and animals could talk, and the deceased still coexisted with the living.

Love dark folklore? This book includes dozens of chilling urban legends: when night falls on bustling cities, unclean things swarm out—offices, recording studios, toilets, elevators... nowhere is safe from hauntings! If you’re a fan of body horror or themes involving psychiatric hospitals, nursing homes, or cursed artifacts, this book will definitely make your hair stand on end!

The “World Mythology - Humanity’s Most Magnificent Imagination” series invites you on a legendary journey through various countries and ethnicities: 《Norse Mythology》《Slavic Mythology》... Come witness the wars of the gods, mysterious rituals, and legendary heroes!
