First published in German in 1909, Otto Rank's original The Myth of
the Birth of the Hero offered psychoanalytical interpretations of
mythological stories as a means of understanding the human psyche.
Like his mentor Sigmund Freud, Rank compared the myths of such
figures as Oedipus, Moses, and Sargon with common dreams, seeing in
both a symbolic fulfillment of repressed desire. In a new edition
published thirteen years after the original, Rank doubled the size
of his seminal work, incorporating new discoveries in
psychoanalysis, mythology, and ethnology. This expanded and updated
edition has been eloquently translated by Gregory C. Richter and E.
James Lieberman and includes an introductory essay by Robert A.
Segal as well as Otto Rank's 1914 essay "The Play in Hamlet."
