"A worldly wide and wise collection of myths which explores the linked themes of meaning and traditions that have circled the years of human existence. "
This is a veritable feast from A to Z of the myths that have journeyed through time, crossing oceans, climbing mountains, and exploring our world of shared beliefs. Author Sarah Bartlett explains in the introduction that myths: “were recounted long before the advent of writing and form the basis of most of the world’s religions, philosophies, literature and art.
They reveal powerful expression of the human imagination through a narrative form to create a universal language”. The introduction is fascinating, it delves into the influence and interpretations of myths, how they still affect our reality, and exist as a guide for individual and universal awareness and inspiration.
Beautiful illustrations occasionally keep the myths company. Within this book you journey into different lands and learn of the myths from a particular area, and then you can explore the different common and united themes from tricksters heroes and quests, through to the sun moon and sky. Myth is an informative and fascinating guide to not only the myths that exist in our world, but also forms an insight into humanity itself.
Humans have always told stories, and myths have been used for millennia as a means of storytelling. A good tale can deliver an important message, an understanding of deeper emotional conflicts, or perhaps act as a light piece of entertainment. Myths have always been a useful lens to see reality through, as well as granting explanations for the unexplainable.
