About this title

Synopsis

Discover Christ through Ancient Myths!

"God is more than a god, not less; Christ is more than Balder, not less. We must not be ashamed of the mystical radiance resting on our theology. We must not be nervous about parallels and 'pagan Christs': they ought to be there it would be a stumbling block if they weren't. We must not, in false spirituality, withhold our imaginative welcome."

- C. S. Lewis, Myth Became Fact

Join renowned author Dr. Louis Markos on an unparalleled adventure for the modern Christian! In the spirit of C. S. Lewis, whose own acceptance of Christ hinged on his understanding that Christ is the myth become fact, The Myth Made Fact: Reading Greek and Roman Mythology through Christian Eyesmines wisdom of eternal value from the great storehouses of Greek and Roman mythology and traces the links that bind those myths to the Bible and the Christian life.

The Myth Made Facttakes its readers on an exploration of Greek and Roman characters, art, and stories one that spans 50 myths and sheds new light on the legends of Hercules, Orpheus, Jason, Phaedra, Oedipus, and many more! The journey through myth unfolds through six unique parts, each pointing beyond the lustful and wrathful Olympian gods to the One Holy Creator who stands, like Aslan, at the back of all our stories.

Part I: Journeys and Origins

Part II: Platonic Myths

Part III: The Four Great Heroes

Part IV: The Tragic House of Thebes

Part V: The Tragic House of Atreus

Part VI: Love Lost and Found

The Myth Made Factoffers distinct insight into how the common people of pagan Greece and Rome received their myths and used them as guides to virtuous living. By doing so, Dr. Markos helps his readers receive myth in the right spirit: not as historical tales that contradict the Bible, but as testimonies to the yearnings of people who lacked clear revelation but nevertheless hungered and thirsted for Truth, Goodness, and Beauty.
