Drawing on a breathtaking array of sources, from the history of religions to anthropology, archaeology, literature, & linguistics, the contributors define a new approach to the understanding of myth in society. For this first English-language edition, the articles have been rearranged by region or culture. Together they comprise an exceptionally broad, stimulating introduction to the religious & mythical traditions of the world: from the idea of death in Ancient Egypt to the ideology of nationalism in modern Europe. Greeks & Romans are here in force, naturally, but so too are the Bantu, Dinka, & Dogon of Africa, & the Armenians, Mongols, & Turks of Asia. Readers of "Mythologies" will discover a wealth of fresh primary sources on such little known traditions as those of the Vietnamese, & bold, provocative new interpretations of well-studied traditions, such as those of classical Greece.
