Long thought of as on the the required reference books in the field, Hall's impressive 'encyclopedia' dives into the big ideas behind ancient mythology, philosophy, and religion. With an enormous number of entries, it covers everything from the more obscure (truncated) parts of Islamic and Christian history to the mysterious rituals of Druids, Freemasons, alchemists, and other secret societies.
