The Lessons of Nature in Mythology (Paperback)

This examination of myths from around the world focuses on the role
nature plays within mythology. Creation myths from myriad cultures
recognized that life arose from natural elements, inextricably
connecting human life to the natural world. Nature as portrayed in
myth is unpredictable and destructive but also redemptive,
providing solace and wisdom. Mythology relates the human life cycle
to the seasons, with spring, summer, fall and winter as metaphors
for birth, adulthood, old age and death. The author identifies
divinities who were direct representations of natural phenomena.
The transition of mythic representation from the Paleolithic to
Neolithic periods is discussed.
