The beginning of the twenty-first century has already seen its fair share of modern myths with heroes such as Spider-Man, Superman, and Harry Potter. The authors in this volume deconstruct, discuss, engage, and interrogate the mythologies of the new millennium in science fiction fantasy texts. Using literary and rhetorical criticism - paired with philosophy, cultural studies, media arts, psychology, and communication studies - they illustrate the function, value, and role of new mythologies, and show that the universal appeal of these texts is their mythic power, drawing upon archetypes of the past which resonate with individuals and throughout culture. In this way they demonstrate how mythology is timeless and eternal.

This influential work on comparative mythology takes on a scholarly controversy that raged at the time over the origin of mythology. Is myth "a disease of language," as Max Muller claimed, or does it, as the Lang argues here, reflect the spiritual needs of humans? Lang makes the case for an anthropological study of mythology. A fascinating treatise on the study of modern mythology the construction of myths so soon after an event. Andrew Lang was the foremost scholar in folklore and mythology of his time.

The ugly scars were the problem! A civilised fancy is not puzzled for a moment by abeautiful beneficent Sun-god, or even by his beholding the daughters of men thatthey are fair. But a civilised fancy is puzzled when the beautiful Sun-god makes lovein the shape of a dog. {5} To me, and indeed to Mr. Max Müller, the ugly scars werethe problem.He has written-'What makes mythology mythological, in the true sense of theword, is what is utterly unintelligible, absurd, strange, or miraculous.' But heexplained these blots on the mythology of Greece, for example, as the resultpractically of old words and popular sayings surviving in languages after theoriginal, harmless, symbolical meanings of the words and sayings were lost. Whathad been a poetical remark about an aspect of nature became an obscene, or brutal, or vulgar myth, a stumbling block to Greek piety and to Greek philosophy.To myself, on the other hand, it seemed that the ugly scars were remains of thatkind of taste, fancy, customary law, and incoherent speculation which everywhere, as far as we know, prevails to various degrees in savagery and barbarism. Attachedto the 'hideous idols, ' as Mr. Max Müller calls them, of early Greece, and implicatedin a ritual which religious conservatism dared not abandon, the fables of perhapsneolithic ancestors of the Hellenes remained in the religion and the legends knownto Plato and Socrates. That this process of 'survival' is a vera causa, illustrated inevery phase of evolution, perhaps nobody denies.Thus the phenomena which the philological school of mythology explains by adisease of language we would explain by survival from a savage state of society andfrom the mental peculiarities observed among savages in all ages and countries. Ofcourse there is nothing new in this: I was delighted to discover the idea in Eusebiusas in Fontenelle; while, for general application to singular institutions, it was acommonplace of the last century. {6a} Moreover, the idea had been widely used byDr. E. B. Tylor in Primitive Culture, and by Mr. McLennan in his Primitive Marriageand essays on Totemism.

Modern Mythology is a collection of fifteen imaginative stories having mythological themes and also possessing interesting mythological allusions and characters. Humor is represented in "Olympus Lives" and in "Olympus Lives, Part II." Anachronism is depicted in the stories "Immoral Immortality," "The Seven Statues," "The Heroic Belt," "Greek Statutory Law" and in the very intriguing exploit "Mythology Economics." Conflict and action/adventure situations dominate the tales "The Amazon Sorority," "Perseus, II" and also "Twelve Modern Labors." The presentations "Excavations" and "Ice Ages" involve rather amazing archeological discoveries from ancient times. Finally, mystery and suspense can be found in "The Oracle," in "Marvelous Modern Mythology" and in the creative rendition "Accidental Coincidence."
