Description
Myth & Knowing is the most comprehensive world mythology textbook on the market. The text/reader format provides both jargon-free discussions of current themes and thinkers in the ongoing scholarly conversation about myth and a broad selection of myths chosen for literary merit and the cultural sensitivity of their translations. Rather than being genre-driven, the book emphasizes the psychological, religious, and cultural meanings of myth, presenting these with the intent of fostering a love of literature in students. Book jacket.
First Sentence
The study of myths-mythology-has a long, rich, and highly contested history of debate about exactly what myths are, what they do, and why they are worthy of systematic study.
