Review:
"A landmark book" -- Maurice Friedman, author of "Touchstones of Reality""An Anthology devoted to myths of creation has long been needed and the selection in this volume is first-rate..." -- "Parabola""Any extensive exploration of mythology will reveal how incredibly heterogeneous Human culture is. I know of no book that shows this better than Barbara Sproul's "Primal Myths." -- "San Francisco Chronicle's Whole Earth Catalog"
Synopsis:
This book presents a collection of creation myths which constitute the foundation, the mythological DNA, of every culture. For in their answers to how the world came to be, how human beings were created, how the basic patterns of a culture/society got started, they have all subsequent elaborations of a culture and society's meanings and values.
