Picture a campfire with people huddled together on a cold night, smoke slowly drifting up towards a sky carpeted with stars, and a storyteller holding his audience captive with the adventures of his ancestors. And as they become more enthralled and beseech him for more stories, he delves deeper into his store of tales until he comes to the time when there were no humans, no animals, no plants. But there were gods…
Since the dawn of time humankind has been intrigued by the facts of existence: birth, being, death; and when reason and meaning appear beyond human understanding, gods enter the arena. Thus this search for meaning gave birth to mythology and in turn, mythology spurred existing traditions, rituals and customs into new and exciting pathways and helped evolve and develop new ones.
In Mythic tales retold the author adds his insights with a blend of humour and tongue-in-cheek to the myths of old. The style makes use of a rhyme scheme employed by limericksters (a word according to the author not found in any (reputable!) dictionary, meaning "persons writing limericks").
A useful Glossary is appended and the book will be enjoyed by both old and young, as well as scholars and non-scholars.
