Publisher's Synopsis

The Various Classes of Myth by Lewis Spence is a comprehensive study of the different types of myths found in various cultures around the world. The book is divided into six sections, each focusing on a different type of myth, including creation myths, hero myths, nature myths, and more. Spence explores the origins and meanings of these myths, tracing their development through history and across cultures. He also examines the ways in which myths have been used to explain the mysteries of the natural world, to provide moral guidance, and to shape cultural identity. Throughout the book, Spence draws on a wide range of sources, from ancient texts to modern scholarship, to provide a rich and nuanced understanding of the complex and fascinating world of myth. This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in mythology, folklore, or the history of human culture.THIS 26 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Introduction to Mythology, by Lewis Spence.
