This enthralling study of myths examines what exactly they are and why they are so important, even in modern life. The author shows what they share in common with folk tales, dreams, and fantasies; how we developed a symbolic language, defining such symbols as blood, mik, sunlight, and monsters; how heroes from Moses and Jesus to Charlemagne and Superman are related; and how myths reconcile us to life's limitations. It is an unforgettable study of the foundations of human consciousness.
