Download or read book The Greek Myths written by Robert Graves and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 1960 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Graves, classicist, poet and unorthodox critic, retells the Greek legends of gods and heroes for a modern audience. He demonstrates with a dazzling display of relevant knowledge that Greek mythology is �no more mysterious in content than are modern election cartoons�. All the scattered elements of each myth are assembled into a harmonious narrative, and many variants are recorded which may help to determine its ritual or historical meaning. Full indexes and references to the classical sources make the book as valuable to the scholar as the general reader. And a full commentary on each myth interprets the classical version in the light of contemporary archaeological and anthropological knowledge.

Book excerpt: Robert Graves's two great works of mythography are published together for the first time in this limited edition. The Greek Myths is among his most popular works, compendious in scope and lively in the telling. The Hebrew Myths has long been out of print. It is a book of comparable range and vision to the Greek. No poet of the 20th century, not even Ezra Pound was so compendiously learned as Graves in the origins of our Mediterranean cultures. While his approach to myth is original and sometimes contentious, his narrative is compelling.

Download or read book La naturaleza de los mitos griegos written by G. S. Kirk and published by Grupo Planeta (GBS). This book was released on 2002-03 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Las teorías sobre los mitos son abundantes. Se han abordado como ecos de sucesos meteorológicos y cosmológicos, como propuestas de explicación de algunos de los sucesos más extraños sucedidos en el mundo, como una especie de ciencia primitiva, como historias inventadas para legitimar costumbres o instituciones ya existentes, como relatos que evocan un pasado esplendoroso, como justificación de rituales primitivos... Psicólogos, antropólogos culturales y otros muchos profesionales han vertido innumerables opiniones al respecto. El profesor Kirk ha examinado estas teorías universales detenidamente y ha considerado que todas ellas son reveladoras, pero ninguna resulta adecuada por sí misma para explicar la asombrosa variedad de estos >, incapaces de enmarcarse en una única teoría. A sus consideraciones generales sobre la naturaleza del mito sigue un espléndido análisis de los mitos griegos --acerca de dioses, de héroes y, con mayor detenimiento, del único dios-héroe: Heracles—y, ya el capítulo final, una rigurosa reflexión sobre la manera en que una época dominada por el mito acabó cediendo el paso a otra dominada por la filosofía.
