This fundamental study examines mythology as a source of artistic imagery and its role in literature. The author examines the structure of myth, mythological thinking, and the history of its reception in various scholarly schools.

Particular attention is paid to how myth "comes to life" in 20th-century culture, folklore, and literature, when writers consciously turn to mythological models and symbols. Meletinsky analyzes the connection between ancient myths and modernist mythologism, demonstrating how mythological thinking is transformed in artistic discourse.

The first volume includes the section "The Newest Theories of Myth and the Ritual-Mythological Approach to Literature."

The second volume includes the sections "Classical Forms of Myth and Their Reflection in Narrative Folklore" and "Mythologism in 20th-Century Literature."
