Description
The Cave of Echoes celebrates the universal art of storytelling, and the rich diversity of the stories?especially myths?that people live by. Drawing on Hindu and Greek mythology, Biblical parables, and the modern mythologies of Woody Allen and soap operas, Wendy Doniger?renowned scholar of the history of religions?encourages us to feel anew the force of myth and tradition in our lives, and in the lives of other cultures. She shows how the stories of mythology?whether of gods, sages, demons or humans?enable cultures to define themselves. She raises critical questions about how myths are interpreted and adapted, and the ways in which different cultures make use of central texts and traditions. Drawing connections across time and place, she proposes that myths are not static beliefs but evolving narratives, and that by entering into other cultures? stories, we may unexpectedly rediscover our own. Written with scholarly depth and characteristic wit, this is a landmark work in the comparative study of mythology. It?s essential reading for anyone interested in how we understand others?and ourselves?through the stories we tell.
