Oxford Dictionary of Mythology

Since Plato first coined the term 'mythologia', mythology has come to hold greater significance and power as a crucial element of civilization as a whole. Written by a leading scholar of ancient civilizations, A Dictionary of World Mythology presents the powerful gods of Greece, Rome, and Scandinavia, the more mystical deities of Buddhist and Hindu India, and the stern spirits of the African and American continents. Drawing upon hundreds of myths from around the globe, it not only reveals the vast differences in these civilizations, but also demonstrates the unity of mankind in its fundamental need for explanations of the unknown.

It seems that everytime I type in results for many different mythos entities(Thor, Loki,etc), it shows no results!! ??????????????????Either upgrade or shut down for good and give me my money back, you dick!!!! ???????????????????

Adding quick cross references in details containing other method would be a welcome addition. Also including the myths of the Christian religion as a whole not just the catholic saints should be standard. This leaves out all current myths held today and barely touches those of the ancients. I only keep this app on my phone in hopes that they will extend definitions and stories to make this app worth the price I paid for it.
