Abstract:
This collection of fascination essays explores the nature and influence of myth and mythic figures in the context of literature. Each essay traces the life of a particular myth in fiction, poetry or drama, drawing on legends from all over the world, from prehistory to the modern age. Alphabetically organized, the Companion's entries fall largely into four main areas: the Cosmos, the Psyche, Society, and History/ Politics.--[book cover]
