What reading level is A Guide to Mythology book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The warring principle in na- ture, Typhon, was identified with various hideous animals, such as the crocodile and hippopotamus. The most sacred of beetles was the Scarabeus, the symbol either of the sun or immortality. Even the higher gods were frequently represented as animals, or in part animals, while to those gods imaged in human form, like Osiris and Isis, animals were sacred. There was also an important bird, which was itself mythical, called the Phoenix. This wonderful bird was said to r...ise from time to time out of its own ashes.
Animals occupy a somewhat different position in ^orse mythology. They are also survivals, very likely, from an earlier stage of life when animals were worshipped, but when we meet with them in the iTorse myths they have become symbols of the various ideas of mankind in regard to the mind and 136 Animals In Culture Myths spirit, and no longer appear simply as personifica- tions of the events of nature like Indra and the cows in Hindoo mythology.
The Norse gods appear galloping into view on their wonderful steeds across.
