Mythology

On the bank of the Godavari River is a kingdom called the Abiding Kingdom. There lived the son of King Victory, the famous King Triple-victory, mighty as the king of the gods. As this king sat in judgment, a monk called Patience brought him every day one piece of fruit as an expression of homage. And the king took it and gave it each day to the treasurer who stood near.

A hard to find book from 1886, republished by TGS. A look at mythical monsters and other myths from a scientific point of view, without the myth and fear behind the monster stories.

In this fascinating and original work we embark upon a journey of imagination and exploration from the beginning of time to the end of infinity. The speculative essays and true life case files presented here may help shed fresh light upon many of the puzzles and enigmas that have confronted humanity since the beginning of time, enigmas reaching deep into the fibres of our very being and existence.
