Synopsis:

This collection is a key to another world--a world of superhuman deeds, heroism, love, jealousy, war, tragedy, and triumph. The tales within are metaphors for us, sharing wisdom we can use. They tell us how earlier people explained the phenomena of nature, and they offer us a glimpse into other cultures. Mostly, we look to them to help us answer the questions that have mystified people forever, ancient and modern alike. How did our world come to be? What is our place in the world--are we heroes or heroines, or are we aimless wanderers, unsure of our purpose? Answers found in this collection suggest that human beings have great purpose.
