Myth, Ritual and Religion - Vol. 2
by Andrew Lang
The surprisingly comprehensive examination of Lang's pre-scientific thought offers an important insight into the worldviews that have shaped and continue to influence modern thought. In the second volume, Lang explores the concept of "divine" as it manifests worldwide, explores the importance of ritual, and delves into the mythologies of ancient Egypt, Greece, Mexico, and India in particular to show how metaphorical notions of the gods shaped humanity. Myth, Ritual and Religion - Volume 1 is also available from this two-part series.
