If you're interested in learning more about Greek mythology and a new method of organizing your thoughts about mythos, then Introduction to a Scientific System of Mythology is an invaluable tool for analyzing mythology in any culture. Introduction to a Scientific System of Mythology begins by defining mythos and establishing the idea that myths are made up of two distinct concepts: the ideal and the real. Then the source of mythology is explored, asking two main questions: what do we know about mythology and how do we know it? The answer is that myths are passed down through generations, first through oral tradition, then through epic poetry, Alexandrian poets, lyric poets, logographers and historians. The chapter regarding the actual origin of mythos is intriguing, for as Muller points out, it is impossible to trace specific myths to particular people. If myths originated with more than one person or from a group, then how did this collective establishment of storytelling actually happen? Muller's answer, in part, is that there is a collective unconscious need to create heroes and stories that relate to life. Muller's analysis predates the formal establishment of psychology, but draws on the same concepts to describe mythology's role in Greek life. Having laid down a scientific method for analyzing mythos, Muller explains how to apply his reasoning to the great Greek heroes. Finally, he compares his own scientific method with the approaches taken by other scholars and philosophers, explaining the similarities and differences. This section is a helpful reference for anyone who studies mythology, philosophy, literature or other subjects. Introduction to a Scientific System of Mythology is well-translated from the original German and is a smooth read. Those interested in mythology should definitely read this book.

Excerpt from An Introduction to Mythology With such metamorphoses of the elder gods a rather long suffering public has become somewhat ruefully acquainted. But with the value of the new scientific machinery which has discovered these analogies, which has laid bare the true nature of myth, they are not so intimate. The purpose of this book is to provide them with a review of mythic science from its beginnings down to the latest guesses of contemporary authorities. This plan may appear too ambitious, in the present chaotic condition of the science, but a real necessity exists for some such elementary study in order to cast light into the popular darkness on the subject.

An excerpt: In my "Introduction to a Scientific System of Mythology," I gave a sketch of my views on the Astronomical Mythi of Grecian antiquity, in which I especially insisted on a strict separation of those legends to which the aspect of the stars had given rise, from the catasterisms of the Alexandrian school, which consisted merely in seeking out for some figure already traced on the sky, some fable or other story, by which an interesting interpretation and mythological reference was assigned to it. With regard to this process - the operation of which is clearly seen from the description given by Aratus of the sphere of Eudoxus, which contained, however, but little that was mythological - similar views have been expressed by Buttmann in his excellent treatise " On the Origin of the Constellations on the Grecian Sphere," which he read before the Academy of Sciences at Berlin, on the 8th of June, 1826. The principles which I then laid down have been confirmed by continued attention to the subject, only, at the same time, the circle of really ancient astronomical mythi has, in some regions, widened around me; in others, the original conception stands more distinctly before my view. I will begin by unfolding, in the legends regarding Orion, all that belongs to the Constellation; and I intend to treat also in the same way the mythi of Sirius, the Pleiades, and the Hyades. Almost all the constellations which have furnished materials of any amount to the mythic poesy of Greece, are to be found in that division of the heavens which lies to the south of the Sun's path, not in the much larger space extending from the Ecliptic to the Pole. There Sirius, Orion, the Hyades, and the Pleiades, have their position nearly in a line: of these the Pleiades only are a few degrees distant from the Ecliptic to the North. Among the Northern Stars, indeed, the Bear or Wain, together with Bootes, appear early under those names, having chiefly served as guides to the Greeks on their voyages; for it was only in later times that they learned from the Phoenician mariners to take for their guidance the constellation of the Lesser Bear, which lies nearer the Pole. But there is no evidence that these designations had any considerable influence in the formation of mythi. The constellations known to us from Mythology, which, beginning from the sign of Taurus, and passing the Pole, proceed along the milky way, viz., Perseus, Cassiopeia, Andromeda, and Cepheus, have certainly this peculiarity, that they do not first appear, like the Horse, Engonasis, Ophiuchus, and others, under names which merely denote the figure; but, so soon as we find them mentioned, already bear these mythological names, which, moreover, are all taken from persons of one and the same royal family. Nevertheless, these constellations were not known to Greek poetry before the time of Alexander, and no trace of them can be pointed out until they make their appearance on the sphere of Eudoxus described by Aratus. To me it seems probable, that by these names of heroes and heroines, who had a certain though only apparent relation to the East, it was meant to translate Chaldean appellations which may be borrowed from a similar fable in Oriental mythology. But that Perseus and Andromeda, and the characters connected with them in the Greek legend, were themselves originally sidereal beings, is a point that cannot be at all rendered probable. There is nothing in this mythic cycle which clearly and distinctly requires to be interpreted by means of Astrognosy. But with regard to the remark at the outset, the circumstance that the constellations of most mythological importance lie south of the Ecliptic, is perhaps sufficiently explained by this, that they are not seen in the sky throughout the whole year, but are at times invisible, whereby their appearance became doubly remarkable, and gave occasion to all manner of combinations....

Excerpt from Contributions to the Science of Mythology, Vol. 2 of 2 WE now approach the mythology of the ancient Aryan inhabitants of India, to see whether their mythology and likewise those of the other closely related Aryan nations, particularly the Greeks and Romans, will yield to the same solvents and disclose the same elements which we found without much effort in the mythological language of Mordvinians and Fins, people entirely unconnected by blood or language with the Aryan family of speech.

Excerpt from Contributions to the Science of Mythology, Vol. 1 of 2 I Have hesitated for a long time before making up my mind to publish these two volumes on the Science of Mythology. I was sorry, no doubt, that I should have to leave this gap in the work of my life as I had planned it many years ago, namely an exposition, however imperfect, of the four Sciences of Language, Mythology, Religion, and Thought, following each other in natural succession, and comprehending the whole sphere of activity of the human mind from the earliest period within the reach of our knowledge to the present day. There is nothing more ancient in the world than language. The history of man begins, not with rude flints, rock temples or pyramids, but with language. The second stage is represented by myths as the first attempts at translating the phenomena of nature into thought. The third stage is that of religion or the recognition of moral powers, and in the end of One Moral Power behind and above all nature. The fourth and last is philosophy, or a critique of the powers of reason in their legitimate working on the data of experience.
