Title: Don't Know Much About Mythology Pdf Everything You Need to Know About the Greatest Stories in Human History but Never Learned (Don't Know Much About Series)
The latest installment in the New York Times bestselling Don't Know Much About® series -- a magical journey into the timeless world of mythology
It has been fifteen years since Kenneth C. Davis first dazzled audiences with his instant classic Don't Know Much About® History, vividly bringing the past to life and proving that Americans don't hate history, they just hate the dull, textbook version they were fed in school. With humor, wit, and a knack for storytelling, Davis has been bringing readers of all ages up to speed on history, geography, and science ever since. Now, in the classic traditions of Edith Hamilton and Joseph Campbell, he turns his talents to the world of myth.
Where do we come from? Why do stars shine and the seasons change? What is evil? Since the beginning of time, people have answered such questions by crafting imaginative stories that have served as religion, science, philosophy, and popular literature. In his irreverent and popular question-and-answer style, Davis introduces and explains the great myths of the world, as well as the works of literature that have made them famous. In a single volume, he tackles Mesopotamia's Gilgamesh, the first hero in world mythology; Achilles and the Trojan War; Stonehenge and the Druids; Thor, the Nordic god of thunder; Chinese oracle bones; the use of peyote in ancient Native American rites; and the dramatic life and times of the man who would be Buddha.
Ever familiar and instructive, Davis shows why the ancient tales of gods and heroes -- from Mount Olympus to Machu Picchu, from ancient Rome to the icy land of the Norse -- continue to speak to us today, in our movies, art, language, and music. For mythology novices and buffs alike, and for anyone who loves a good story, Don't Know Much About® Mythology is a lively and insightful look into the greatest stories ever told.
Wonderful book!!! This will be the 3rd time I have read this book. Gotten from the local library twice and decided I had to have my own copy. Kenneth Davis writes in a way that is easy to read and understand. His humor mingled in with world history, makes it a wonderful opportunity to learn about human nature and our beliefs, and why we need to believe.Just finished reading his book on American History little known facts and will end up reading it again also.Kenneth Davis by far is one of my favorite authors!Comprehensive An excellent overview of the subject matter. However, due to the breadth of the subject area, there is a lack of substantial detail. An excellent starting point for additional study.Amazing Book! This was one of the best books I ever read. I had to read Davis' book on the Bible for class, and it opened up world's for me. This mythology book did the same.
