SirenWhile Kendall's revision dates to 1993; Sykes wrote the bulk of this in 1952 and in the intervening years; new discoveries and translations have made some parts of some entries inaccurate. The book is in standard; alphabetical format; with entries on deities ranging from a brief sentence to a couple of paragraphs. Their roles in myths are necessarily very briefly summarized although a number of entries on the creation legends of various cultures are more fully developed; running as long as a couple pages.This book is best used as a launching point for further investigation. Find an entry that sparks your interest and then track down a fuller version of the myths or legends wherein they feature. Otherwise; it serves as a fair quick reference guide; but I wouldn't consider it authoritative.
