About This Item
Berkeley/Los Angeles/London: University of California Press, 1983. A translation of the first part of the middle volume of the author's magnum opus, Mythe et épopée II, a study of Indo-European warrior-heroes from Norse, Hindu, & Greek mythologies and their cultural meaning; quite different, in Dumézil's view, from the psychological & ritual archetypes posited by Joseph Campbell. First American edition (first printing) with full number string. Hardcover in jacket, as pictured. Light wear to book; price-clipped jacket has several short tears with associated creasing, one-inch triangular chip gone from upper rear panel, no loss of text. Text clean; xvii, blank, 154 pages; a few b/w figures, tables. . First American Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Good. Octavo.
