Myths We Live By, Paperback / softback Book

Myths We Live By Paperback / softback

Part of the Religion and Beliefs Series series

Paperback / softback

Description

Colin Grant challenges the popular use of "myth" as a dismissive designation of the superstitions and falsehoods of "other" cultures.

The author maintains that myths occupy a place in our present-day lives that is every bit as important to us as the divinities and heroes of classical antiquity were to the ancients.

The myths themselves are in a constant state of flux and transformation.

They ebb and flow, both within the context of wider culture and individual experience.
