Ever since Odysseus heard tales of his own exploits being retold
among strangers, audiences and readers have been alive to the
complications and questions arising from the translation of myth.
How are myths taken and carried over into new languages, new
civilizations, or new media? An international group of scholars is
gathered in this volume to present diverse but connected case
studies which address the artistic and political implications of
the changing condition of myth - this most primal and malleable of
forms. 'Translation' is treated broadly to encompass not only
literary translation, but also the transfer of myth across cultures
and epochs. In an age when the spiritual world is in crisis,
Translating Myth constitutes a timely exploration of myth's
endurance, and represents a consolidation of the status of myth
studies as a discipline in its own right.
