Opis

Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject Indology, grade: 1, University of Heidelberg (Klassiche Indologie), course: Seminar zur Vorlesung Hindu Mythologie, 18 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: In this essay, I attempt to write about the importance and remarkable motif appearing in Gaṇeśa's myth and his Iconographic conception. Besides I try to give its interpretation and its social outlet function by using the same method which is from the book ทฤษฏีคติชนวิทยา วิธีวิทยาในการวิเคราะหตํานานและนิทานพื้นบาน1 by ศิราพร ณ ถลาง2 like I used In Thailand to study Folk literature. But the most importantly, one should consider that the interpretations in this essay, some of them was collected from the book concerning to Gaṇeśa's myth, some are my own interpretation and there is no right or wrong in the interpretation so "Let the myth speaks by itself" .
