Publisher's Synopsis

Modern Mythology is a collection of essays written by Andrew Lang, a Scottish writer and anthropologist, and published in 1897. The book explores the myths and legends of various cultures from around the world, including those of ancient Greece, Egypt, and India, as well as those of the indigenous peoples of North America and Africa. Lang examines the origins of these myths and their significance in the cultures that created them. He also discusses the ways in which these myths have been adapted and transformed in modern times, particularly in literature and the arts. The book is a fascinating exploration of the enduring power of myth and its role in shaping human culture and understanding.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
