Synopsis
This book reveals how sociocultural and political debates today are still heavily influenced by ancient mythology. It explores how ancient stories shape how our modern secular society thinks about the interconnected geopolitical, technological, and ecological issues we are facing, and our potential futures.
Classical myths like those of Achilles, Medea, and Odysseus are ubiquitous, from films and books to social media and games. But how and why are we still fascinated with them now? Can these strange and often painful stories from societies so radically different from our own offer us genuine insights today? This expanded English edition of Evelien Bracke's award-winning Dutch book Leidraad door het labyrint explores how and why Greek and Roman myths, despite their ancient origins, have become surprisingly meaningful in times of uncertainty. Bracke offers a contextualisation and literary analysis of classical mythology - through both texts and visual media. This allows readers to gain a better understanding of how people draw inspiration from the past for a better future, and how these stories provide both collective and individual guidance in navigating the turbulent twenty-first century.
The Meaning of Myth in Uncertain Times is suitable for students, scholars, teachers, and general readers interested in mythology and ancient Greek history and culture, providing insights that are relevant to the challenges we all face today.
