Uncover how language twists myth and how legends illuminate history.

This nonfiction study blends philology with folklore to explain how myths form from language and tradition. It surveys ancient beliefs, legends of the Iroquois Confederacy, and the way scholars interpret early Native stories to reveal authentic histories hidden in myth and word meanings.

Readers will follow concrete examples of how names, terms, and narratives become creatures of tradition—sometimes spelling trouble as “disease of language”—and how careful revision can sharpen our view of the past. The work situates myths within their cultural and geographic contexts, from the shores of the St. Lawrence to the heart of the American folk-lore tradition.

Learn how myth depends on language and what misread terms can produce in traditional tales.

Explore historical figures like Hiawatha and Dekanawidah and the legends surrounding them.

See comparisons across cultures, from the Vedic Paraloka to Sheol, and what these beliefs reveal about ancient worlds.

Understand how ethnology, archaeology, and literature come together to illuminate indigenous lore.

Ideal for readers of folklore, anthropology, and language history seeking clear, accessible insights without spoilers.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This volume explores how a peculiar misconstruction in the use of location language in the past continues to exert unexpected influence on the mythological and religious beliefs in numerous cultures. The author demonstrates how phrases like 'up' and 'down' denoting geographical location have become entangled with the historical memory of many indigenous communities, profoundly affecting how they perceive their origin stories and the place of departed souls. Through specific case studies, the author unravels a tangled thread that connects the linguistic past of diverse human groups to the nations and beliefs they have become today, providing a novel perspective on the history of mythology and the often-unconsidered influence of language on cultural evolution. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781334221552_0
