С точки зрения современного человека, любой древний миф – это выдумка, прекрасная сказка. Однако то, что для нас, европейцев, является мифом, для наших современников из разных уголков мира – не миф, а самая настоящая реальность, их понимание мироздания, их верование и культура.
Авторы сумели очень убедительно рассказать о современности некоторых «мифов».
На мой взгляд, эта книга обязательно удивит тех, кто думает, что знает о древней мифологии абсолютно всё.
