Publisher's Synopsis

What An Old Myth May Teach (1878) is a book written by Leslie Keith. The book explores the power of myths and how they can teach valuable lessons that are still relevant today. Keith delves into the story of Prometheus, a Greek mythological figure who stole fire from the gods and gave it to humans. He uses this myth as a lens through which to examine the role of knowledge, power, and freedom in society. Keith argues that the story of Prometheus can teach us about the dangers of unchecked power, the importance of knowledge, and the need for individual freedom. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both scholars and general readers. Overall, What An Old Myth May Teach is a thought-provoking exploration of the enduring power of myth and its relevance to contemporary society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
