The Gods of Pegana

The Gods of Pegana begins with tales describing each of the gods and the tale of creation, and evolve into tales of the prophets and kings and their interactions with the fickle gods. Dunsany's most influential work relating to ancient myths are his Pegana stories, within which a complete fictional pantheon and its mythology are constructed. The book is a collection of short parables and myths describing the fictional world of Pegana, its rather mean-spirited and neurotic deities, and its prophets and kings.
