Reseña del libro "An Introduction to Greek Mythology and Modern Society (en Inglés)"

An Introduction to Greek Mythology and Modern Society provides students with a collection of curated readings that discuss the placement of myths in ancient and modern societies. The anthology reveals how myths serve as tools for analyzing, dissecting, and embracing the impact of past and present traditions in forming and shaping the world around us. Many of the examinations center on the characters and events in the Harry Potter series written by J.K. Rowling, a modern and beloved tale that mirrors many themes and stories found in classic Greek myths.Unit I discusses the interpretation of myths, with articles that examine how Harry Potter is grounded in the humanistic nature of the beloved title character and other members of the wizarding community; the influences of Near Eastern mythology in Greek culture; and the birth of Hercules, a cornerstone hero within Greek mythology. Unit II draws connections between Greek gods and the wizards of Harry Potter. The readings explore the role of deities and the demand of human morality; social structures as defined by the gods; and the relationships between gods, demigods, and mortals. The final unit centers on heroes, including Achilles, Odysseus, Heracles, and Harry Potter.Featuring a unique and highly relatable approach, An Introduction to Greek Mythology and Modern Society is an ideal textbook for courses and programs in Classics, Greek mythology, and the enduring power of storytelling in society.
