Book summary

For Thompson, myth is the history of the human soul, the creation of symbols that express the primal form of male and female power.

Media Reviews


"This is an abundant, powerful book. Much of its power flows from Thompson's increasing ability to read images, a complicated process. Scholars and thinkers over the last seventy years have slowly rediscovered the stages of this lost ability; and in this book William Irwin Thompson climbs one more step."

   -- Robert Bly

Publisher Notes


Investigates the intersection of science, history, art, and religion in myth as a way of illuminating human nature and providing a new understanding.
