the legend

During the depth of time and across the ages, myths remained a topic that raises curiosity and attracts scientific research, and in this exciting version of the "Literary Views" series, Robert A Sigal takes us on an exploratory journey through the wide diversity of the curricula that have crystallized over the centuries in the field of myths studying. From anthropology to philosophy, through psychology, literary criticism, and religious studies, Sigal explores the depths of the fundamental questions about the origins of legend, its functions and topics, providing a deep analysis of the various answers presented by distinguished scientists and theorists such as Taylor, Fraser, Malinovsky, and others. This book opens new doors for understanding and appreciation for myths, providing a comprehensive and enjoyable evaluation of this rich and complex field.
