An introduction to the world of myth and its influence on culture and society. From the white stag to the green knight, this book examines how myth colours our perception of history, nature and ourselves. Organized around seven key myths - representing the Irish, Greek, Sumerian, Indonesian, Amazonian and Inuit cultures, as well as the fantasy world of J.R.R. Tolkien - this book introduces the common themes found in world mythology. Curtiss Hoffman, an archaeologist and anthropologist, takes us beyond the entertaining stories and uses insights from cultural anthropology and analytical psychology to analyze the many common themes found throughout. In particular, he examines the significance of names, numbers, plants, animals, the heavenly bodies and the human body. This book aims to enhance the reader's appreciation of myth's power over our lives and cultures.
