Where do myths come from? What is their function and what do they
mean? In this Very Short Introduction Robert Segal introduces the
array of approaches used to understand the study of myth. These
approaches hail from disciplines as varied as anthropology,
sociology, psychology, literary criticism, philosophy, science, and
religious studies. Including ideas from theorists as varied as
Sigmund Freud, Claude Levi-Strauss, Albert Camus, and Roland
Barthes, Segal uses the famous ancient myth of Adonis to analyse
their individual approaches and theories. In this new edition, he
not only considers the future study of myth, but also considers the
interactions of myth theory with cognitive science, the
implications of the myth of Gaia, and the differences between
story-telling and myth. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short
Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds
of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books
are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our
expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and
enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly
readable.
