Excerpt from A Manual of Mythology in the Form of Question and Answer
The researches of Comparative Mythologists during the present century have effected a complete revolution in the treatment and classification of the various systems of mythology.
The present Manual, which is an attempt to give the results of those researches in a form suitable for the young, must necessarily differ widely from the manuals or elementary works which have preceded it. But no apology seems to be needed for changes which remove from our common heritage of mythical tradition all that may appear gross and repulsive in it, and exhibit the exquisite poetry which lies at the root of all these ancient stories.
In some portions of the subject, differences of opinion must still exist.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces mythology in an engaging way for young readers. These stories, complex and often disturbing in their traditional forms, are a collection of the oldest surviving human thoughts and experiences. The meanings of these archetypal stories have been lost over time, and often replaced with less profound and even upsetting tales. The author examines this evolution to demonstrate how these tales helped societies understand the world around them. This book argues that through understanding the origins and evolution of mythological stories, we can discover a deeper, truer meaning within them and appreciate the exquisite poetry that lies at their root. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781440083334_0
