Myths and Myth-Makers: Old Tales and Superstitions interpreted by Comparative Mythology. By John Fiske... (Boston, James R. Osgood and Company, 1877). Second edition, rather scarce. Myths and Myth-Makers is a book by John Fiske, first published in 1873. It explores the nature and origins of mythology through a comparative analysis of myths and folklore from various cultures. The book delves into specific topics like: Werewolves and swan-maidens: These are examples of shape-shifting myths that he analyzes. The primeval ghost world: He analyzes myths about the afterlife and the spirit world. Light and darkness: Fiske explores how myths often personify and symbolize the forces of light and darkness, which are fundamental to human perception. Fiske's work is notable for its engagement with evolutionary theory and its application to the study of mythology. He suggests that myths evolve and adapt over time, reflecting changing human understanding of the world.
