Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Legend of Perseus, Vol. 1: A Study of Tradition in Story, Custom and Belief; The Supernatural Birth I am deeply sensible of the difficulties of the task I have undertaken, and of the very imperfect way in which I have hitherto performed it. Unfortunately, I cannot hope to succeed better in that portion which has yet to be laid before the reader. All I can hope is that I may have exhibited, however inadequately (if further exhibition were needful), the advantage for psychological purposes of re search into the ideas and the usages of uncultured peoples and of the less cultured classes in civilised communities.

This book was released on 2015-12-09 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Legend of Perseus. The two incidents in the legend of Perseus which stood over for examination in the present volume were the rescue of Andromeda and the Medusa witch. Examining the rescue incident first, as it appears in Murchen and then in sagas, Mr. Hartland points out that, "popular as the story of the rescue of the devoted maiden is, and appealing as it does to the imagination, it is not a little remarkable that it appears to be indigenous only in the Old World." On the other hand, legends of the slaughter of a destructive monster, where there is no specific human being to deliver, not only extend beyond these limits, but frequently form part of the cosmogony of peoples alien in race and occupying distant portions of the globe. The question is, Does this difference in range of two distinct classes of rescue traditions help us to any satisfactory hypothesis as to the origin of the more important of the two - the Andromeda type? Noting first that the veneration of the lower animals is one of the rudest and oldest forms of religious conceptions, and was kept alive by the "amazing toughness of tradition " in cults of a much higher grade like those of Egypt and ancient Greece, Mr. Hartland goes on to point out that to living gods like these food was a daily necessity, and savage nations, on days of festival or under stress of some great impending calamity, "would not hesitate to give human flesh to such of those gods as were carnivorous. These two factors in the history of savage religion provide the necessary explanation of the monster dragon or serpent and the devoted maiden in the Andromeda tradition. There is left, then, only the rescue incident for elucidation, and Mr. Hartland meets this by the acute suggestion that if, by the concurrence of an advance in civilization and a political revolution, the worship of an animal deity demanding the sacrifice of a human being were suppressed, he would become in tradition a deadly monster, and the milder divinity who succeeded to his place in popular regard would be credited with his conquest and destruction.
Download or read book The Legend of Perseus written by Edwin Hartland and published by . This book was released on 2012-11-26 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edwin Sidney Hartland's The Legend of Perseus was published in three volumes between 1894 and 1896. Like its better-known contemporary, James Frazer's The Golden Bough (1890), Hartland's Perseus attained a degree of fame and widespread citation as a convenient compendium of myths and legends. Hartland explored the Greek myth of Perseus, exhaustively tracing its parallels in ancient, medieval, and modern folklore to understand the continuity of story, custom, and belief across time and space. Hartland demonstrated the widespread nature of the supernatural birth of the hero, his encounter with a witch, and his rescue of a fair maid. However, the book proved controversial because Hartland drew parallels between the supernatural birth of Perseus and that of Jesus. This edition brings together all three volumes of Hartland's work in a new, one-volume abridgment that presents all of Hartland's main text and a selection of his footnotes.
Download or read book Perseus Or Of Dragons written by H. F. Scott Stokes and published by Full Well Ventures. This book was released on 2024-04-25 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forget the classic clash with Medusa! "Perseus: Or, Of Dragons" (1925) by H. F. Scott Stokes delves deeper. This unique book explores the myth of Perseus as a springboard to explore dragons across cultures, from fire-breathing beasts of Greek legend to symbolic figures in medieval Europe. Stokes dissects how these mythical creatures evolved in storytelling. He then ventures beyond myth, suggesting potential roots in Egyptian beliefs and arguing that dragons represent humanity's own destructive tendencies. Buckle up for a journey where slaying the dragon might mean slaying our own societal ills.
