This book the Routledge Dictionary of Gods, Goddesses at alia was originally published in German in 1984 as the Lexicon det Gotter and Damonen by Alfred Kramer. It was then translated and republished in English in 1986 by Routledge and Kegan Paul, Ltd. That went out of print and so the publishers reissued the 1986 British English version in 2004.It does not cover Egyptian gods, (like Bast, Isis), Christian Saints nor Hindu gods but specifically addresses this time period:From classical Greek and Roman mythology to the gods of Eastern Europe and Mesopotamia; from Nordic giants to Islamic jinns and Egyptian monsters, this classic dictionary is packed with descriptions of the figures most worshipped and feared around the world and across time. Fully cross-referenced and with over 100 (black and white poorly rendered photographs and line) illustrations, it also features two handy appendices listing the functions and attributes shared by these deities and demons.So with that said, it is extremely good with the development of pagan gods and how those cults flourished in different areas, but alas there is a poor index for finding such information so the hardcover is a bit harder to use than the epub format..It has a great bibliography btw.
