  In a ringing monologue of the Prometheus Bound attributed to Aeschylus, the shattered hero inventories his gifts to humankind: architecture, astronomy, mathematics, writing, domestication of animals, seafaring, medicine, metallurgy, divination. The modern lay reader will be startled that a list of clearly technical practices ( tékhnai [τέχναι]) should not only include divination ( mantikḗ [μαντική]) but in a sense climax with it, giving it pride …

  Have you ever wondered why so many heroes--from Odysseus to Tom Sawyer--journey to the underworld? Or why virgin births occur in so many stories around the world?In the first comprehensive view of mythology directed toward the general reader, Shirley Park Lowry tells why we find recurring patterns and symbols in stories that are centuries--or continents--apart. Drawing upon tales ranging from the ancient Middle East to modern North America, Lowry…

  THERE IS A KIND OF DRAMA which lays claim to some degree of universality. It is, in a sense, the syllogism of literary art. An undistracted rigour governs its movement from premises to conclusions, from cause to effect. It can little afford the exuberance of comedy or the expansive digressions and unhurried pace of epic. A preoccupation with the chain of cause and effect, with responsibility, dominates this kind of tragic composition and forces i…
