The author also presents the pagan world's origins, the deities and demi -gods that were worshipped across regions and periods, their unique characteristics, and their often complex interrelationships. Alongside providing historical and literary context, the author discusses the allegorical meanings behind these stories and their use of anthropomorphic deities to represent forces of nature, emotions, cultural values, and more.
