Myth: A HandbookBloomsbury Academic, 2004 M06 30 - 208 páginas A type of folklore, myth is central to all cultures.

Because they are so fundamental to civilization, myths are studied in a range of disciplines and at all levels. This reference is a comprehensive but convenient introduction to the role of myth in world cultures. |
