- Armstrong "relies heavily on the usual suspects—Mircea Eliade, Joseph Campbell, Walter Burkert" (1993–2015); not on "scholars such as Jack Zipes and Marina Warner, and historians ...". --review of 3 vols by Elizabeth Hand, Washington Post 2005-12-25, "The New Muses"
Synopsis:
"Theologian Armstrong here investigates myth: what it is, how it has evolved, and why we still so desperately need it. She takes us from the Paleolithic period and the myths of the hunters, up to the Great Western Transformation of the last five hundred years and the discrediting of myth by science."
