LIST OF MYTHOLOGIES

As of today's date, here's a list of the mythologies I currently plan to cover in the book. An asterisk indicates a subject that may not have enough material to justify an entire chapter, in which case I'll fold it into another appropriate chapter or put it in the Miscellaneous section. A check-mark indicates a chapter that's finished in first draft form.

The current record-holder for length is Hindu Mythology, at 70,000 words. Since I've split Celtic up into four separate chapters, I don't expect any other chapter to beat that total. Some of the runners-up include:  Greek and Roman, 42,000 words; Chinese, 37,000 words; Norse, 36,000 words; American Indian, 32,000 words. The shortest so far is Armenian, at just 3,500 words. Most of the others fall into the 15,000-25,000 range, but some are shorter than 10,000.

As of March 2017, I am currently working on the Canaanite Mythology chapter, having just finished Hawaiian.
