Mythological Europe revisited - Fons Elders
humanism and the third millennium III
KORTE INHOUD
Mythological Europe Revisited offers the reader an impressive vista on the subliminal traces of mythic themes. The authors do not share one view about origin and meaning of the mythic tradition. They share, however, the insight that without a living mythic tradition the domain of the arts, philosophy, religion and even sciences, would be like a dusty desert.
Happily enough, mythology lost its role of explaining the forces of nature. But its role of delivering insights into the hidden, deep endeavours and fears of any human seems to be more alive than ever. The symbolism of the labyrinth, the mythic journey, Eros and the Two-Faced Goddess, the role of Prometheus and Hermes, the nature of transcendence and the law of metamorphosis are after all psychic realities nobody can escape, when reflecting on birth and death. Mythological Europe Revisited describes no history but a living tradition.
