| intro to mythology thury: Introduction to Mythology Eva M. Thury, Margaret Klopfle Devinney, 2025 This fifth edition of our text incorporates into its cover design motifs that illustrate some of the ways we find mythology interesting: it represents a timeless tradition, and yet one that is ever being remade and reformulated to be completely fresh. This edition includes new chapters on the American blockbuster film Black Panther and on The Half-God of Rainfall, an African-American epic poem that fuses Classical Greek and Yoruba Nigerian mythology. Also in this edition, we have added considerable new material to the discussion of Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey by offering insights from Christopher Vogler's Writer's Journey that include corrections and refinements of Campbell's thinking. This material contains significant discussion of I Am Legend, the 2007 film about the confrontation between Dr. Robert Neville and the vampire-like creatures that result from his research, and other versions of this story going back to the 1954 novel by Richard Matheson. In addition, Chapter 11 now provides extensive new material that enriches our understanding of the Mesoamerican Maya rituals and culture. As in previous editions, we delight in continuing and expanding the multiple perspectives we have been able to provide in this book for traditional stories, suggesting that they are in some ways eternal and immutable, while showing how we see them differently because of the world we live in and the particular kinds of insights that have become available to us as a result-- |

| intro to mythology thury: Introduction to Mythology Eva M. Thury, Margaret Klopfle Devinney, 2009 Introduction to Mythology: Contemporary Approaches to Classical and World Myths introduces students to a wide range of myths from various critical perspectives. Featuring original texts from sources around the world, it includes readings from Greek and Roman classics (by Homer, Hesiod, Ovid, and other writers); Nordic mythology (by Snorri Sturluson); Hindu culture (The Ramayana); Chinese mythology (Nu Kwa); and from such ancient works as The Epic of Gilgamesh, the Bible, and, new to this edition, the Enuma Elish. Selections from Native-American sources and fairy tales and stories from Africa, Germany, and the United States are also included. In addition, the authors draw comparisons between classical myths and such contemporary cultural phenomena as Daniel Boone, The Wizard of Oz, and, new to this edition, Firefly and Harry Potter. They also incorporate readings by Carl Jung, Levi-Strauss, Victor Turner, and other theorists who consider mythic material from different analytical perspectives. Finally, works by Milton, Keats, Updike, and Joyce are presented as examples of modern literary texts with mythological roots. The selections are organized into seven topical sections: myths of creation and destruction; hero and trickster myths; ritual and myth; myths and dreams; folktale and myth; contemporary myths; and myths and literature. |

| intro to mythology thury: The Dysfunction of Ritual in Early Confucianism Michael David Kaulana Ing, 2012-11-15 Michael Ing's The Dysfunction of Ritual in Early Confucianism is the first monograph in English about the Liji--a text that purports to be the writings of Confucius' immediate disciples, and part of the earliest canon of Confucian texts called ''The Five Classics,'' included in the canon several centuries before the Analects. Ing uses his analysis of the Liji to show how early Confucians coped with situations where their rituals failed to achieve their intended aims. In contrast to most contemporary interpreters of Confucianism, Ing demonstrates that early Confucian texts can be read as arguments for ambiguity in ritual failure. |
| intro to mythology thury: The Essential Metamorphoses Ovid, 2011-09-15 The Essential Metamorphoses, Stanley Lombardo's abridgment of his translation of Ovid's Metamorphoses, preserves the epic frame of the poem as a whole while offering the best-known tales in a rendering remarkable for its clarity, wit, and vigor. While making no pretense of offering an experience comparable to that of reading the whole of Ovid’s self-styled history from the world's first origins down to my own time, this practical and judicious selection of myths at the heart of Roman mythology and literature yet manages to relate many of the most fascinating episodes in that world-historical march toward the Age of Augustus--and is accompanied by an Introduction that deftly sets them in their cosmological, theological, and Augustan contexts. |

She includes a timeline covering the seven stages in the mythical history of Egypt and outlining the major events of each stage.

| intro to mythology thury: The Ritual Process Victor W. Turner, 2011-12-31 In The Ritual Process: Structure and Anti-Structure, Victor Turner examines rituals of the Ndembu in Zambia and develops his now-famous concept of Communitas. He characterizes it as an absolute inter-human relation beyond any form of structure. The Ritual Process has acquired the status of a small classic since these lectures were first published in 1969. Turner demonstrates how the analysis of ritual behavior and symbolism may be used as a key to understanding social structure and processes. He extends Van Gennep's notion of the liminal phase of rites of passage to a more general level, and applies it to gain understanding of a wide range of social phenomena. Once thought to be the vestigial organs of social conservatism, rituals are now seen as arenas in which social change may emerge and be absorbed into social practice. As Roger Abrahams writes in his foreword to the revised edition: Turner argued from specific field data. His special eloquence resided in his ability to lay open a sub-Saharan African system of belief and practice in terms that took the reader beyond the exotic features of the group among whom he carried out his fieldwork, translating his experience into the terms of contemporary Western perceptions. Reflecting Turner's range of intellectual interests, the book emerged as exceptional and eccentric in many ways: yet it achieved its place within the intellectual world because it so successfully synthesized continental theory with the practices of ethnographic reports. |

| intro to mythology thury: The World of Myth David Adams Leeming, 1991-01-24 Hercules, Zeus, Thor, Gilgamesh--these are the figures that leap to mind when we think of myth. But to David Leeming, myths are more than stories of deities and fantastic beings from non-Christian cultures. Myth is at once the most particular and the most universal feature of civilization, representing common concerns that each society voices in its own idiom. Whether an Egyptian story of creation or the big-bang theory of modern physics, myth is metaphor, mirroring our deepest sense of ourselves in relation to existence itself. Now, in The World of Myth, Leeming provides a sweeping anthology of myths, ranging from ancient Egypt and Greece to the Polynesian islands and modern science. We read stories of great floods from the ancient Babylonians, Hebrews, Chinese, and Mayans; tales of apocalypse from India, the Norse, Christianity, and modern science; myths of the mother goddess from Native American Hopi culture and James Lovelock's Gaia. Leeming has culled myths from Aztec, Greek, African, Australian Aboriginal, Japanese, Moslem, Hittite, Celtic, Chinese, and Persian cultures, offering one of the most wide-ranging collections of what he calls the collective dreams of humanity. More important, he has organized these myths according to a number of themes, comparing and contrasting how various societies have addressed similar concerns, or have told similar stories. In the section on dying gods, for example, both Odin and Jesus sacrifice themselves to renew the world, each dying on a tree. Such traditions, he proposes, may have their roots in societies of the distant past, which would ritually sacrifice their kings to renew the tribe. In The World of Myth, David Leeming takes us on a journey not through a maze of falsehood but through a marvellous world of metaphor, metaphor for the story of the relationship between the known and the unknown, both around us and within us. Fantastic, tragic, bizarre, sometimes funny, the myths he presents speak of the most fundamental human experience, a part of what Joseph Campbell called the wonderful song of the soul's high adventure. |

| intro to mythology thury: Materiality and Aesthetics in Archaic and Classical Greek Poetry Amy Lather, 2021-09-30 Illuminates the reciprocal interaction between minds and materials as a fundamental feature of ancient Greek aesthetics Combining New Materialist and cognitive methodologies, Amy Lather shows the different ways in which matter interacted with mind in ancient Greek thought. Her readings centre on the concept of poikilia, a richly multivalent term in Greek aesthetics that is used to characterise artefacts as well as mental activity. By delineating patterns of interaction between living and inorganic beings through the lens of this aesthetic concept, Lather maps a body of canonical texts onto the new critical terrains comprised by the new materialisms and cognitive humanities and reveals the points of intersection between cognitive processes and the material entities produced by them. The result is an innovative contribution to both Classics and New Materialism studies, uncovering the intimate and reciprocal interaction between minds and matter as central to ancient Greek aesthetic experience. Amy Lather is Assistant Professor of Classics at Wake Forest University in Winston Salem, North Carolina. |
| intro to mythology thury: The Philosophy of Enchantment:Studies in Folktale, Cultural Criticism, and Anthropology R. G. Collingwood, 2004-04-07 This is the long-awaited publication of a set of writings by the British philosopher, historian, and archaeologist R.G. Collingwood on critical, anthropological, and cultural themes only hinted at in his previously available work. At the centre of the book are six chapters of a study of folktale and magic, composed by Collingwood in the mid-1930s and intended for development into a book. Here Collingwood applies the principles of his philosophy of history to problems in thelong-term evolution of human society and culture. This is preceded, in Part I, by a range of contextualizing material on such topics as the relations between music and poetry, the nature of language, the value of Jane Austen's novels, the philosophy of art, and the relations between aesthetic theory andartistic practice. Part III of the volume consists of two essays, one on the relationship between art and mechanized civilization, and the second, written in 1931, on the collapse of human values and civilization leading up to the catastrophe of armed conflict. These offer a devastating analysis of the consequences that attend the desertion of liberal principles, indeed of all politics as such, in the ultimate self-annihilation of military conquest.The volume opens with three substantial introductory essays by the editors, authorities in the fields of critical and literary history, social and cultural anthropology, and the philosophy of history and the history of ideas; they provide their explanatory and contextual notes to guide the reader through the texts. The Philosophy of Enchantment brings hitherto unrecognized areas of Collingwood's achievement to light, and demonstrates the broad range of Collingwood's intellectualengagements, their integration, and their relevance to current areas of debate in the fields of philosophy, cultural studies, social and literary history, and anthropology. |

Mateene, 2023-07-28 The feats of the hero Mwindo are here glorified in the bilingual text of an epic which was sung and narrated in a Bantu language and acted out by a member of the Nyanga tribe in the remote forest regions of eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. Admirably structured, coherent, and richly poetic, the epic is in prose form, interspersed with song and proverbs in verse.

| intro to mythology thury: A History of Optical Telescopes in Astronomy Wilson Wall, 2018-10-01 This book is uniquely about the relationship between the optical telescope and astronomy as they developed together. It covers the time between the telescope's pivotal invention in the 1600's up to the modern era of space-based telescopes. Over the intervening centuries, there were huge improvements in the optical resolution of telescopes, along with changes in their positioning and nature of application that forever altered the course of astronomy. For a long time, the field was an exclusive club for self-motivated stargazers who could afford to build their own telescopes. Many of these leisure-time scholars left their mark by virtue of their meticulous observations and record keeping. Although they would now be considered amateurs, these figures and their contributions were pivotal and are covered in this book alongside professionals, for the first time giving a complete picture of the history of telescopic science. |
| intro to mythology thury: Parallel Myths J.F. Bierlein, 2010-06-16 “Unusually accessible and useful . . . An eye-opener to readers into the universality and importance of myth in human history and culture.”—William E. Paden, Chair, Department of Religion, University of Vermont For as long as human beings have had language, they have had myths. Mythology is our earliest form of literary expression and the foundation of all history and morality. Now, in Parallel Myths, classical scholar J. F. Bierlein gathers the key myths from all of the world's major traditions and reveals their common themes, images, and meanings. Parallel Myths introduces us to the star players in the world's great myths—not only the twelve Olympians of Greek mythology, but the stern Norse Pantheon, the mysterious gods of India, the Egyptian Ennead, and the powerful deities of Native Americans, the Chinese, and the various cultures of Africa and Oceania. Juxtaposing the most potent stories and symbols from each tradition, Bierlein explores the parallels in such key topics as creation myths, flood myths, tales of love, morality myths, underworld myths, and visions of the Apocalypse. Drawing on the work of Joseph Campbell, Mircea Eliade, Carl Jung, Karl Jaspers, Claude Lévi-Strauss, and others, Bierlein also contemplates what myths mean, how to identify and interpret the parallels in myths, and how mythology has influenced twentieth-century psychology, philosophy, anthropology, and literary studies. “A first-class introduction to mythology . . . Written with great clarity and sensitivity.”—John G. Selby, Associate Professor, Roanoke College |

Taking a phenomenological approach that emphasizes the standpoint of the religious believer--a view from the inside of religion--Kent Richter uses the categories of experience, belief, and behavior (Beauty, Truth, and Goodness) as a way to think about religion in general.

The syntheses of the main characteristics of Lake Pavin are, for the first time, set in a firmer footing comparative approach, encompassing regional, national, European and international aquatic science contexts. It is a unique lake because of its permanently anoxic monimolimnion, and furthermore, because of its small surface area, its substantially low human influence, and by the fact that it does not have a river inflow. The book reflects the scientific research done on the general limnology, history, origin, volcanology and geological environment as well as on the geochemistry and biogeochemical cycles. Other chapters focus on the biology and microbial ecology whereas the sedimentology and paleolimnology are also given attention. This volume will be of special interest to researchers and advanced students, primarily in the fields of limnology, biogeochemistry, and aquatic ecology. |

| intro to mythology thury: One Arrow, One Kill Aditya Satsangi, 2021-04-22 Aditya Satsangi in his writing presents just that narrative. It is gentle, it is tolerant, it is relevant in a world sought to be rent apart by purveyors of hate filled with the toxin of religious or ethnic superiority. The world is one, and we are all equal. Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, everyone. Thank you, Aditya- M D NalapatMany have become fond of our joint sessions on Sattology. I receive numerous positive feedbacks from viewers. However, I may add that what viewers see on Sattology is only a small glimpse of the interaction. We discuss regularly on varied subjects and Aditya has surprised me with numerous insights.- Nilesh Oakकण कण में जो रमने वाला घट घट में समाया है जिसका नाम, त्रेता के है विष्णु अवतरण दसरथ सूत है सिया पति श्री रामRam Rajya concept is the epitome of the modern day's governance, everyone aspires to reach that height.- Sharad MohanThe work is timely on account of the growing propaganda about our epics being termed a work of Myth (illusion) but by his detailed research of places and events the author has brought reliable evidence that this is not a work of illusion but absolute truth.- Dr. R.V. S. ManiLord Ram is the epicentre of Indian culture but His meaning is not exclusive to Hindus, it is a way of being all races can all aspire to. - Antonia FilmerBy PHYSICALLY correlating the recorded geography in the Ramayana to actual geography, Satsangi has done yeoman work to establish the authenticity of the Aadikaavya Ramayana. The greatest truths are often to be found in poetry. - Lakshmi Bayi NalapatShri Ram is the ultimate chastiser against adharma. The reader has to understand that the ancient geographical locations in Ramayan match the geographical wonders of earth even today. In this book, I have also disclosed the secret locations of Siddhashram, Ravana's Lanka, and many other historical places with proofs from Google earth & other maps published by reputable independent organizations. Ramayan is the actual history of the world and you will see this through the pages of my book. I have also clarified many doubts which were spread against Shri Ram's character in a simple to understand manner. I would like the reader to read this book with an open mind without any prejudice and understand Shri Ram for what He came for. |
| intro to mythology thury: Myth in History, History in Myth Society for Netherlandic History (U.S.). International Conference, 2009 In 1975, a group of Dutch and British scholars published a conference volume of collected essays entitled Some Political Mythologies. That conference sought to examine the political myth as an object of historical study, particularly in the context of the tumultuous and exceptional history of the Low Countries. Thirty years later, a more diverse group of scholars gathered to re-examine the history of Dutch myth-making in light of developments in theoretical and methodological approaches to understanding the role of myths in national identity, moral geography, and community formation. The results of their efforts appear in this volume, Myth in History: History in Myth. The essays cover developments in history, anthropology, cartography, philosophy, art history, and literature as they pertain to how the Dutch historically perceived these myths and how the myths have been treated by previous generations of historians. |
