4.0 out of 5 stars
rare combination of different cultures,
By TammyJo Eckhart "TammyJo Eckhart" (Bloomington, Indiana United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE)
This review is from: Magical Arrows: The Maori, The Greeks, And The Folklore Of The Universe (New Directions in Anthro Writing) (Paperback)
Schrempp demonstrates his wide knowledge in this book as he grasps both the ancient and the traditional firmly in his theories. It is clear that he has spent time in each culture, learning and analysizing their mythology. Since high level theorizing, however, makes the book unaccessible to the layperson and even difficult at times for those less familiar with either culture. Likewise some of his translations or interpretation may cause discomfort for the experts on either culture. The book is an interesting addition to the field of comparative mythology and should be read by any seriously engaged in either ancient or traditional systems.
