Heya /lit/

What are the best books about;
-Greek mythology
-Egyptian mythology
-Nordic mythology

I need one book for each subject. Each book needs to cover most or the entire mythology.

Homeric Apocrypha, Odyssey, Iliad for Greek mythos are good starts

It's surface level, but that's what you get if you want to cover the majority of the mythos.

Gaiman is a kike, not qualified

This is terrible, Gaiman either completely ignore what sources say or deliberately misinterprets them. Gaiman is also a terrible writer.
