Author(s): Mark Morford, Robert Lenardon Publisher: Longman Year: 1985 ISBN: 0-582-28541-0 Language: English File type: PDF Pages: 592 Size (for download): 8.50 MBWebster's Third New International Dictionary gives the following definition of myth: "a story that is usually of unknown origin and at least partially traditional, that ostensibly relates historical events usually of such character as to serve to explain some practice, belief, institution, or natural phenomenon, and that is especially associated with religious rites and beliefs."This indeed is as good a definition as any, clear and all-inclusive, highlighting the essential meanings of the word in its most general sense. Many specialists in the field of mythology, however, are not satisfied with such a broad interpretation of the term "myth." They attempt to distinguish 44 true myth" or "myth proper" from other varieties, and seek to draw distinctions in terminology between it and other words often used synonymously, such as legend, saga, and folk tale.'Thus, for some, myth must be ancient and of anonymous origin (according to Gayley, "myths are born, not madepp2); others demand that they invariably be concerned with nature and provide explanations for its phenomena (i.e., real myths are nature stories and aetiological); still others would expand their definition to include tales dealing with all circumstances of human life, although they might also insist upon the presence of the divine or supernatural for authenticity. There are those who argue that myths must have once been believed, although subsequently they come to be regarded as incredible. Thus Christian dogma for them may be excluded from mythological study (although to non-Christians it may be viewed as incredible): and so on. Robert Graves, for example, distinguishes true myth, which for him is "the reduction to narrative shorthand of ritual mime performed in public festivals, and in many cases recorded pictorially on temple walls, vases, seals, bowls, mirrors, chests, shields, tapestries, and the like," from twelve other categories, such as: philosophical allegory, satire or parody, minstrel romance, political propaganda, theatrical melodrama, realistic fiction TABLE OF CONTENT: Chapter 01 - Myths of Creation Chapter 02 - Zeus' Rise to Power Chapter 03 - The Twelve Olympians Chapter 04 - Anthropomorphism and Greek Humanism Chapter 05 - Poseidon, Sea Deities, Group Divinities And Monsters Chapter 06 - Athena Chapter 07 - Aphrodite and Eros Chapter 08 - Artemis Chapter 09 - Apollo Chapter 10 - Hermes Chapter 11 - Dionysus.
