Fantáziu človeka odpradávna vzrušujú tajomní bohovia, zázračné bytosti a ľudskí hrdinovia. Táto kniha nám pootvorí okienko k tajomstvám, ktoré si ľudstvo uchováva vo svojej pamäti. Bohovia a hrdinovia starých civilizácií Egypta, Grécka a Galie nám pripomenú korene našej civilizácie. Publikácia je určená nielen mládeži, ale aj dospelým, ktorí si chcú nenáročnou a pútavou formou objasniť alebo znova oživiť rozličné mýty a legendy. Kniha ich súčasne konfrontuje s historickou faktografiou.
