First off, the mythologies mentioned in the summary are, by a long shot, NOT all mythologies.
Second of all, myths don't "all fit together." I've spent a lot of time lately reading just about everything Joseph Campbell wrote, and even he cannot tie all myths together. There are very many similarities and parallels, which he goes into at great detail, but also very many differences (likewise with the detail).
Therefore, if any book tries to convince me that it will tie a bunch of mythologies together, I avoid it and go browse in the cookbook section until I feel better.

Does it keep signalling even after you've passed out?
Take it from a real old-timer, grandpa... AOL is just newfangled garbage! Us real old-timers had accounts on The Source.
Chat rooms didn't exist yet. You wrote LOTS of mail.
And you happily played BlackDragon at 300 baud.
You did too.
