Summary

"Greek mythology has long been one of the major literary underpinnings of Western (European-based) culture. What many Westerners do not realize, however, is that very similar tales exist in the mythologies of cultures and peoples around the globe. Looking at the many similarities among the gods and myths of past peoples around the globe, it is only natural to wonder how those parallels came about. A number of modern scholars have concluded that it did not happen merely by coincidence"--, Provided by publisher
