The Historical Atlas of World Mythology
by Joseph Campbell

Table of Contents

The Historical Atlas was meant to be the summation of Campbell's life's work.  It was unfortunately not finished at the time of his death.

The book as it stands has two volumes (four were intended): Volume 1: The Way of the Animal Powers and Volume 2: The Way of the Seeded Earth.  They are sometimes published in a total of five parts, as follows:

Volume 1: The Way of the Animal Powers

• Part 1 : Mythologies of the Primitive Hunters and Gatherers
• Part 2: Mythologies of the Great Hunt

Volume 2: The Way of the Seeded Earth

• Part 1: The Sacrifice
• Part 2 : Mythologies of the Primitive Planters: The Northern Americas
• Part 3: Mythologies of the Primitive Planters: The Middle and Southern Americas
