Synopsis
Excerpt from An Introduction to the Science of Comparative Mythology and Folklore
My purpose in this volume is to give a general view of the vast mass of popular traditions belonging to the Aryan nations of Asia and Europe, and of other tribes so far as the conditions of the subject may render necessary.
Its starting point is the principle that the popular traditions of no one Aryan people can be really understood except in their relation to those of other tribes and nations of the same family, and that the epical and dramatic literature of those races has been constructed from materials common to all branches of the Aryan stock and furnished by popular sayings, stories, and tales, many of which have never had the good fortune to be more than the talk of nurses and children.
The Greek term mythology scarcely expresses, indeed, the fact that the traditions, on which the epic, lyric, and dramatic poetry of the Aryan nations has sprung up, really constitute what in strict speech we may speak of as the whole learning of the people in early stages of thought and civilisation, and sum up their thoughts on the origin and constitution of the outward world.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the fascinating world of ancient mythology and folklore, focusing specifically on the traditions of the Aryan nations of Asia and Europe. The author delves into the origins and evolution of these stories, arguing that they are not isolated events but rather interconnected threads woven from a shared cultural fabric. The book challenges the notion that these myths are simply fantastical tales, instead highlighting their profound connection to the natural world and the way early civilizations understood their surroundings. By comparing myths across different cultures, the author reveals surprising patterns and shared themes that shed light on the universal human experience. The book explores the origins of common mythological motifs, such as the heroââ â¢s journey, the battle between light and darkness, and the cycle of life and death, revealing how these timeless themes have been expressed through diverse stories, rituals, and beliefs. Ultimately, this book offers a fresh perspective on the power and enduring relevance of ancient myths and folklore, demonstrating their capacity to illuminate both our past and our present. 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 réf. du vendeur 9781451004793_0
