Download or read book Diccionario de mitolog a griega y romana written by Pierre Grimal and published by Grupo Planeta (GBS). This book was released on 2009-01-08 with total page 676 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El dominio de la leyenda no se limita al de la investigación erudita, pues el brote por excelencia del mito es la obra literaria: no hay casi ningún aspecto de la literatura griega que lo ignore, y ninguno, de un modo u otro, deja de apoyarse en él. Por eso su conocimiento es inseparable del de las obras mismas. De esta manera, la mayor parte de las leyendas incluidas en este diccionario de Pierre Grimal -autor también de La mitología griega y La vida en la Roma antigua, ambas igualmente publicadas por Paidós- son de procedencia helénica, y un número más bien reducido, romanas. Ambas mitologías tienen entre sí muchos puntos de contacto, pero antes de encontrarse siguieron rutas distintas y desigualmente largas. El pensamiento mítico griego es, con mucho, el más rico y el que finalmente impondrá sus formas, pero ello no es motivo suficiente para que se pasen por alto algunas leyendas típicamente romanas cuyo estudio no está desprovito de significado.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Allá adonde nunca alcanzó a penetrar la mirada del hombre, ni la huella de su pie se ha dejado sentir? O, acaso, sólo las de algún héroe más divino que humano, transportado a esas lejanías por la magia de poderes sobrenaturales. En lugares tan remotos, tan perdidos que causa pavor siquiera imaginarlos. Envueltos en la bruma de los sueños terroríficos, ¿los ha creado quizás nuestra fantasía para encerrar en ellos, ?bajo llave?, a tantos seres horripilantes de los que la razón consciente desea huir?

Download or read book Diccionario mitol gico de Filipinas written by Ferdinand Blumentritt and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many authors, ancient and modern, native and foreign, have been preoccupied with 'primitive' religion, or even better said, the paganism of the Natives of the Philippines; however, their writings about the religion of the natives, non-Christianized or from the mountains, who until now keep their ancient practices, are always reduced to form a chapter indistinct from the other historical or ethnographic notes of their published works. There exists no work, [major] or minor, dedicated specifically and especially to the study of the religion of all the indigenous races of the Philippine Archipelago. The purpose of this dictionary is to put together the religious groups of the Philippines, and removing those of Christian or Mohammedan origins. This work will provide an opportunity to make comparative studies and give an idea of the wealth of names that are in the mythologies of this country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifteen thousand years before Europeans stepped foot in the Americas, people had already spread from tip to tip and coast to coast. Like all humans, these Native Americans sought to understand their place in the universe, the nature of their relationship with the divine, and the origin of the world into which their ancestors had emerged. The answers lay in their sacred stories. Author María García Esperón, illustrator Amanda Mijangos, and translator David Bowles have gifted us a treasure. Their talents have woven this collection of stories from nations and cultures across our two continents—the Sea-Ringed World, as the Aztecs called it—from the edge of Argentina all the way up to Alaska. The Em Querido list seeks to introduce the finest books in translation from around the world to an American audience.

Download or read book Diccionario de mitos written by Carlos García Gual and published by Siglo XXI de España Editores. This book was released on 2003 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La característica definitiva de los mitos es ser viejos relatos memorables de extraordinaria pervivencia. Como se ha dicho, “los mitos habitan el país de la memoria”. Es decir, perduran en nuestro imaginario colectivo, con una extraña fascinación, desafiando el olvido. Muchos hunden sus hondas raíces en una antigua religión y persisten luego en los cauces de la literatura a lo largo de la historia. Con su rica carga simbólica y su enigmático mensaje se prestan a recreaciones y reinterpretaciones múltiples, y vuelven a ser evocados una y otra vez en los diversos géneros literarios: en forma épica, lírica y trágica. Así sucedió ya en Grecia, y luego el fenómeno se repite en la tradición literaria occidental. En un código poético y dramático los mitos nos hablan de los eternos conflictos de la condición humana, recurriendo a figuras emblemáticas de dioses y héroes. Son relatos de intenso dramatismo y misterioso encanto sobre las grandes pasiones y sufrimientos, temores y audacias de unas figuras paradigmáticas, esos personajes inolvidables que van y vienen por los senderos de la fantasía mítica. Este Diccionario de mitos no es un repertorio temático completo, sino un “diccionario de autor”, que reúne una serie de ensayos sobre las más famosas figuras de esa mitología antigua y sobre unas cuantas de singular resonancia en la mitología literaria moderna, e invita al lector a la reflexión sobre ellas. Trata de destacar el vivaz atractivo de esas figuras míticas y explicar, y a la vez sugerir, con un estilo claro y sin resabios pedantes, por qué estos antiguos relatos mantienen aún hoy su fantástica seducción en nuestro imaginario cultural.
