The Truth of Myth is a thorough and accessible introduction to the
study of myth, surveying the intellectual history of the topic,
methods for studying myth cross-culturally, and emerging trends.
Readers will encounter insightful commentaries on such questions
as: What is the relation of mythology to religion? To science? To
popular culture? Did the events recounted in myths actually occur?
Why does the term "myth" have so many contradictory definitions and
connotations? Offering serious students with an intellectual
"toolkit" for launching into this fascinating field, the book is
especially useful in conjunction with case studies of individual
mythological traditions.
