Theologian Armstrong here investigates myth: what it is, how it has evolved, and why we still so desperately need it. She takes us from the Paleolithic period and the myths of the hunters, up to the Great Western Transformation of the last five hundred years and the discrediting of myth by science. The history of myth is the history of humanity, our stories and beliefs, our curiosity and attempts to understand the world, which link us to our ancestors and each other.--From publisher description. 000303636 650_0 $$aMyth$$xHistory. 000303636 85200 $$bgen$$hBL312$$i.A76$$i2005 000303636 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:303636$$pGLOBAL_SET 000303636 980__ $$aBIB 000303636 980__ $$aBOOK 000303636 994__ $$aC0$$bISE
