Nice intro to mythology

If you do not have any idea on any culture's mythology this book is for you. After an intro on mythology, its role in societies, the book goes to tell the stories on mythologies of the different cultures, ancient civilizations and today's primitive societies. If you want to have deeper knowledge do not miss the references at the end of the book.
