There's no Zeus with his thunderbolt or Thor with his hammer; but in Har old Scheub's Dictionary of African Mythology, there is Kibuka, who shoots arrows from clouds, and Tanit, mother of the universe, with her spear. From over 10 years of living in Africa, Harold Scheub has combed oral and recorded traditions and delivers a treasury of African mythology. Scheub focuses on the art of the storyteller, presenting stories that animate the people who tell them.
