Anthology Marcial Villarroel Siles

The present anthology is the first in the series "The stigma of the gods." With diverse mythical histories, generated through the advance of the humanity it exposes a same aspect to us: The creation of the world and the man. The mythological anthology collected in this book will transport us thousands of years in time, imagining the fantastic events of each one of the most representative myths. They were described through the eyes and thoughts of the primary rapporteurs, who preserved them in their language as in their writings and that perhaps are now forgotten or lost. We will begin with the accounts of the creative gods described in the Sumerian and Babylonian civilizations. Traveling then to ancient Egypt and the African continent. From where we will jump to Asia, recognizing the divine participation in the Chinese and Japanese myths, as in those happened in India and its surroundings. Following our mythological expedition to Europe to know the creative vision of the celestial beings in Greece and Rome. As also happened with the imposing Nordic gods. That we will complete with similar events preserved in the mythology of Australia. Without losing the uniqueness and creative intervention of the Mesoamerican gods and immortals, under the Maya and Aztec worldviews. Culminating with the mythology of divine creation in the Amazonian and Andean culture of South America.
