5.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderful collection of myths of fire,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Myths of the Origin of Fire (Hardcover)
On this essay, J. G. Frazer collects myths all around the world about the origin of fire. This is an excellent instrument to compare and analyze the common topics and variations on the old tales about the way humankind was able to obtain fire. It goes beyond western myths and includes Tasmania, Austrailia, Torres Straits Islands and New Guinea, Melanesia, Polynesia, Micronesia, Indonesia, Asia, Madagascar, Africa, South America, Central America and Mexico, North America, Europe, Ancient Greece and Ancient India. This book was written in 1930, therefore, further investigation should be done in order to complete and update this compendium. Nevertheless, it's a wonderful compilation, and a good starting point to have an overview on the way our ancesters tell us that fire was discovered.
