Bilge Kültür Sanat Larousse - World Mythologies

Product description

Paul ricoeur defines myth as follows: “myth is a traditional narrative that finds its place at the beginning of time about events, aimed at grounding all forms of action and thought in which one understands oneself, within one’s own world”.

according to him, each myth contains a veiled logo that demands disclosure. Each myth carries and reflects the trace of the tradition in which it was produced. The most important determining factor of different cultures is undoubtedly geography.

the mythologies produced in various regions of the world reflect the characteristic structure of the climate, fauna and flora of the region they belong to.

it reflects the production styles, crafts, ways of housing and feeding of the peoples, the ways of taking and giving girls, entertainment, funerals, etc. It is inspired by the quantities related to. However, besides these differences, there are also striking similarities between world mythologies. Some heroes, or gods, appear as characters with similar functions, sometimes in close proximity, sometimes in distant regions, under different names from a geographical perspective. Several mythological symbols are exchanged between civilizations and are adopted by different traditions.

As the authors of larousse's world mythologies state, the most surprising and exciting thing in the study of the myths of different civilizations is the similarity they exhibit from one civilization to another, from one end of the planet to another, in their answers to fundamental questions such as the origin of the universe and life. With this reputation, mythology is an indispensable source of knowledge that reveals the emotional and intellectual concerns of people living in different regions of the world.

In this very extensive work, you will find the different and similar sides of the world mythologies, from mesopotamia, greece, rome, egypt, phoenicia, india and iran myths to the scandinavian, cermen and celtic myths, from the fin-ugor, slav and arctic myths to japan, china, tibet, africa, oceania, aztec, maya and inca myths.
