Book excerpt: Jack Chatwin has visions, which leave tangible evidence - sounds and smells, which linger afterwards. What he sees are two primitive figures, with painted faces - Greyface and Greenface, a brother and sister. He calls them bullrunners. John Garth is a city dowser, searching for the mythical pre-Roman city of Glanum. He hopes to find an entryway to the elusive city beneath Exburgh, Jack's home town. And he thinks Jack's bullrunners may be connected to Glanum . . . Years later, Jack, now grown up, agrees to take part in experiments to investigate his bullrunners - until Greyface, the male, breaks free of Jack and takes corporeal form. The bullrunner kidnaps Jack's young daughter so Jack will force Greenface to follow her brother-husband, even against her own wishes. Though Greyface returns the daughter, he keeps a shadow of her, which takes on a life of its own. If Jack refuses to co-operate, the shadow will drain his daughter's vitality and personality - and her very future. The story of Jack's search for Greenface is interwoven with the connections between the bullrunners and the mystical city of Glanum in this resonant tale of ancient mythic wonder.
Book Synopsis Heroes Masked and Mythic by : Christopher Wood
Download or read book Heroes Masked and Mythic written by Christopher Wood and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2021-01-04 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Epic battles, hideous monsters and a host of petty gods--the world of Classical mythology continues to fascinate and inspire. Heroes like Herakles, Achilles and Perseus have influenced Western art and literature for centuries, and today are reinvented in the modern superhero. What does Iron Man have to do with the Homeric hero Odysseus? How does the African warrior Memnon compare with Marvel's Black Panther? Do DC's Wonder Woman and Xena the Warrior Princess reflect the tradition of Amazon women such as Penthesileia? How does the modern superhero's journey echo that of the epic warrior? With fresh insight into ancient Greek texts and historical art, this book examines modern superhero archetypes and iconography in comics and film as the crystallization of the hero's journey in the modern imagination.

Download or read book Echoes of Ararat written by Nick Liguori and published by New Leaf Publishing Group. This book was released on 2021-01-29 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Echoes of Ararat, author Nick Liguori contends that oral traditions of the Flood - and the survival of the few inside the floating Ark - are even more prevalent than previously thought, and they powerfully confirm the truth of the Genesis account. This unprecedented work carefully documents hundreds of native traditions of the Flood - as well as the Tower of Babel and the Garden of Eden - from the tribes of North and South America. Learn what the Cherokee, Lakota, Iroquois, Cheyenne, Inuit, Inca, Aztec, Guarani, and countless other tribes claimed about the early history of the world. Liguori also shares many evidences for the historical reliability of Genesis, and shows that the Genesis Flood account is not dependent on the Epic of Gilgamesh or other Near-Eastern texts, as skeptics claim. Rather, its author Moses had access to ancient records passed down by the early Patriarchs, including Joseph, Jacob, Abraham, and even Noah himself.
Book Synopsis Other Peoples' Myths by : Wendy Doniger
Download or read book Other Peoples' Myths written by Wendy Doniger and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1995-11 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Other People's Myths celebrates the universal art of storytelling, and the rich diversity of stories that people live by. Drawing on Biblical parables, Greek myths, Hindu epics, and the modern mythologies of Woody Allen and soap operas, Wendy Doniger O'Flaherty encourages us to feel anew the force of myth and tradition in our lives, and in the lives of other cultures. She shows how the stories of mythology—whether of Greek gods, Chinese sages, or Polish rabbis—enable all cultures to define themselves. She raises critical questions about the way we interpret mythical stories, especially the way different cultures make use of central texts and traditions. And she offers a sophisticated way of looking at the roles myths play in all cultures.
Book Synopsis The Echo of Odin by : Edward W.L. Smith
Download or read book The Echo of Odin written by Edward W.L. Smith and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2018-09-19 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pagan mythology of the Vikings offers a rich metaphor for consciousness. This book presents the cosmography of Norse mythology as a landscape of human inner life. Each of the nine worlds of this cosmography is viewed as a symbol of a distinct type of consciousness that is emblematic of a particular perspective or way of relating to others. Individual gods and goddesses are considered nuanced personifications of their worlds. The philosophy of pagan mythology is explored by comparing and contrasting the Sayings of Odin from the Norse Edda with the Christian Ten Commandments.

Download or read book Ancient Echoes written by Paul Gilmore and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-27 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The unifying aim of this collection is to present something of the lore and legend of these ordinary yet extraordinary people. The stories of their lives and their failings, their sins and their repentance, and the message they shared needs to be heard afresh in each generation. Looking at events with twenty-first century eyes one cannot help but wonder was the dispute between Columba and Finnian the very first copyright case. Also, the theft of the heart of Laurence O'Toole stolen from Christ Church Cathedral in Dublin and returned in 2018 after an absence of six years would surely have taxed the minds of the Catholic faithful, Hercule Poirot or Father Brown, who would not let the myths which surround the saints detract from their lasting contribution and would remain agnostic about whether or not the exiled Columba came face to face with the Lough Ness monster or whether or not Patrick exiled snakes from Ireland. Ireland's story is told in myth and legend; it could also be said half-truth and innuendo. The myths and legends aim to add colour to the lives of those called saints but beyond this veneer of spin or sexing-up of the relevant dossiers there are some extremely interesting lives shaped by self-discipline, self-denial, courage and sacrifice. Some people suffered horrendously because of their faith and some walked away from wealth and status for lives of obscurity and austerity - walking away, as they did so, from family life, betrothal and inheritance. The lives of the Irish saints seldom, if ever, need embellishing and often the unvarnished truth is stranger than fiction.

Book Synopsis Intende, Lector - Echoes of Myth, Religion and Ritual in the Ancient Novel by : Marília P. Futre Pinheiro
Download or read book Intende, Lector - Echoes of Myth, Religion and Ritual in the Ancient Novel written by Marília P. Futre Pinheiro and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2013-10-29 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Representation of myth in the novel, as a poetic, narrative and aesthetic device, is one of the most illuminating issues in the area of ancient religion, for such narratives investigate in various ways fundamental problems that concern all human beings. This volume brings together twenty contributions (six of them to a Roundtable organized by Anton Bierl on myth), originally presented at the Fourth International Conference on the Ancient novel (ICAN IV) held in Lisbon in July 2008. Employing an interdisciplinary approach and putting together different methodological tools (intertextual, psychological, and anthropological), each offers a illuminating investigation of mythical discourse as presented in the text or texts under discussion. The collection as a whole demonstrates the exemplary and transgressive significance of myth and its metaphorical meaning in a genre that to some extent can be considered a modernized and secular form of myth that focuses on the quintessential question of love.

Book Synopsis Echoes of Ancient Indian Wisdom by : Shantha N. Nair
Download or read book Echoes of Ancient Indian Wisdom written by Shantha N. Nair and published by Pustak Mahal. This book was released on 2008 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The echoes of ancient Indian wisdom can be heard from the oldest of scriptures that existed many years ago. Even thousands of years before they were written down on palm leaves, the teachings were passed on from generations to generations, from the teachers to the disciples in their oral form. These works are amongst the oldest of humanity. They laid the foundation of one of the most tolerant and diverse religions in the world, the Sanatan Dharma or Hinduism, which is marked by a wide range of ethos and philosophical approaches. Covering the vastness and immensity of the ancient Indian scriptures is akin to capturing a gigantic ocean in a small pitcher. Thus, in this book, the author has tried to catch a few 'echoes' resonating with age-old wisdom and has presented them to the readers. the book unravels the knowledge hidden inside the Samhitas, Brahmanas, Aranyakas and Upanishads of the Shruti that form the Vedas, and in the Smriti like Agamas, Dharma Shastras and so on. In short, it provides a glimpse, or rather a macro view of the ancient treasure of India.
