Synopsis
Celebrate the 50th anniversary of Space: 1999 with this fascinating exploration of some of the most memorable episodes from the series' groundbreaking first season. Unlike other space adventure science fiction shows of its time, Space: 1999 stood apart for its bold use of horror and mythology, weaving timeless legends and chilling tales into its storytelling.
This book takes an in-depth look at the mythological traditions, ancient beliefs, and famous horror stories that informed and inspired many iconic episodes. Discover the enduring traditions of dragon slayers—from Beowulf to St. George and the Dragon—and how these legendary tales found new life in the unforgettable Dragon's Domain. Explore the influence of H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu mythos, the sirens of ancient Greece, and other legendary monsters that haunted humanity’s collective imagination. From Homer’s Odyssey to Edgar Allan Poe’s The Premature Burial, uncover how classic myths and stories shaped episodes like Earthbound, Force of Life, The Troubled Spirit, and The Guardian of Piri.
This book illuminates the rich tapestry of horror and mythology that underpinned Space: 1999's first season, enhancing its timeless storytelling and thematic depth. Enrich your understanding and appreciation of the series that remains a stone-cold classic 50 years later.
