Introduction to Mythology
14.99 €
“In studying mythology, we are not concerned with gray antiquity or exotic cultures. We study our own worldview" - this thesis made the course of Alexandra Leonidovna Barkova forever memorable to her students.

Ancient tales of gods and heroes appear in her lectures as part of a single complex of ideas that permeates centuries and peoples. The mythological systems of ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, Scandinavia and India are revealed in the interrelation, thanks to which the individual features of each culture are more clearly visible. A special place is given to mythological universals that manifest themselves through centuries and millennia.

Living language, figurative, sometimes ironic presentation of the most serious material create the effect of direct communication with the professor, whose lectures for a quarter of a century did not sleep any student.
