World Mythology Series

I have long admired the excellent World Mythology Series and just now realized that I do not have a post with all of the titles in it! So here goes:



Angels, Prophets, Rabbis & Kings
from the Stories of the Jewish People



Demons, Gods & Holy Men
from Indian Myths & Legends



Dragons, Gods & Spirits
from Chinese Mythology



Druids, Gods & Heroes
from Celtic Mythology



Fabled Cities, Princes & Jinn
from Arab Myths and Legends



Gods and Heroes
from Viking Mythology



Gods and Pharaohs
from Egyptian Mythology



Gods, Men and Monsters
from the Greek Myths



Heroes, Gods & Emperors
from Roman Mythology



Heroes, Monsters and Other Worlds
from Russian Mythology



Kings, Gods & Spirits
from African Mythology



Spirits, Heroes & Hunters
from North American Indian Mythology



Warriors, Gods & Spirits
from Central & South American Mythology


Waldorf embeds its language arts instruction in Fairy Tales, Folktales, Aesop's Fables, and Jataka Tales in grades 1 & 2, and then does a long series of World Mythology blocks as its cultural study throughout grades 3, 4, and 5. However, you could certainly extend it into grades 6 and 7, especially if you are wanting to be as multi-cultural as possible.

There are lots of compilations besides these books, of course, but they are a solid place to start and each book has enough stories that it could be your sole teaching resource for a main lesson, making them very economical.
