daximus's review against another edition
4.0
Quite interesting as far as psychoanalytic treatises on myth go. A vivid showcasing of one of the myriad ways in which those stories seemingly omnipresent to all cultures can be read, with, of course, an accompanyingly universal "life explanation." I think more could have been said on the matter of the more humble parents (as well as a further expounding on the relatively unexpansive "certainty" of the mother vs the uncertainty of the father, as a matter of addressing the Olympian/Transcendental nature of the fathers present on this list, namely in Zeus, YHVH, and Surya, all of whom are heavenly Gods), but that aside I've no complaints. Oh, except for perhaps a further look at Gilgamesh-whose "certain mother" was a deity, and whose father was mortal.
