| Abstract | "This collection of world myths, although comprehensive, is not intended to be exhaustive and might well be supplemented by a good general encyclopedia or dictionary of mythology. The myths selected are representative of the cultures in question, with some emphasis on myths that have influenced the creative arts in Western culture. These myths are used to illustrate a process by which an approach to myth is gradually revealed. The approach, essentially archetypal in nature, will be of use to students of literature and the other arts. It should also be of interest to a general, nonacademic audience, as it stresses the connections between myth and our own everyday lives"-- Provided by publisher. |
