Book Synopsis Timeless Myths by : Alexander Eliot
Book excerpt: Oprheus and Eurydice. David and Goliath. Beowulf. What makes certain myths timeless for us? The second volume in Eliot's landmark Mythosphere Trilogy considers myth from three points of view: the magical, the artistic, and the ethical. Primarily drawn from classic Greek, Celtic, and Far Eastern sources, these stories illuminate the roles which myths play in our cultures and in our psyche.
