Opis

Mythology creates and sanctions meaning through the elaboration of identity in cultural metaphors that are at once ecological, sociological and ideological. This study examines mythology from a global perspective, citing case studies in cultural traditions from Africa, Europe, Oceania, Native America and elsewhere.
