Cosmos of the Ancients. The Greek Philosophers on Myth and Cosmology

Bag om Cosmos of the Ancients. The Greek Philosophers on Myth and Cosmology

The Greek philosophers lived in a time when the gods and the myths about them were very much alive, and there was no scientific evidence dismissing them. This book explores to what extent the Greeks were able to question their own mythology. This is done by examining the cosmology of their philosophers, and what roles they allowed therein for the gods. Stefan Stenudd is a Swedish author and historian of ideas, who specializes on studies of the patterns of thought in creation myths.
