    About this ebook

    An Exploration of Ancient Myths and the meaning they hold in the modern world. These ancient mythologies that may seem dusty and worn out, can become new and offer us keys to unlocking the hidden doors of our own unique belief systems of today. It is so wonderful to find ancient myths that agree with our existing world view. Visiting the epic literatures of ancient times which seem peculiar and exotic, inform our personal hero’s journey with an infusion of ideas that seem strange and new. Experiencing myths that contain; Giants and Genies – Fairies and Elves, is the stuff of children’s bedtime stories. The great archetypes which thrilled us in our youth, emerge throughout the ancient historic record. It is even more wonderful to experience beliefs considered to be fictions, which turn out to be fact. Because as the years wear on, and we become wiser, it is so often repeated “that fact is indeed stranger than fiction”. Enjoy these fantastic Epic Myths, May they affirm your own unique views.
