Synopsis
Excerpt from Myth: A Symposium
In 1856 Max Miiller published a long essay on Comparative Mythology which reoriented all previous thinking on the origin of myths. The treatise astonished and delighted philologists, classicists, and literary scholars; John Fiske recalls the excite ment that swept him on first reading the noble essay, and Cox and Lang equally pay it tribute.8 Only ten years earlier William Thorns had devised the term folk-lore.
