Description :
"Marvelously wise and expansive. . . . one could call [Ferry's] prose conversational, but it's rare to have a conversation quite this wonderful." - Boston Globe
A fascinating journey through Greek mythology that explains the myths' timeless lessons and meaning
Heroes, gods, and mortals. The Greek myths are the founding narratives of Western civilization: to understand them is to know the origins of philosophy, literature, art, science, law, and more. Indeed, as Luc Ferry shows in this masterful book, they remain a great store of wisdom, as relevant to our lives today as ever before. No mere legends or clichés ("Herculean task," "Pandora's box," "Achilles heel," etc.), these classic stories offer profound and manifold lessons, providing the first sustained attempt to answer fundamental human questions concerning "the good life," the burden of mortality, and how to find one's place in the world. Vividly retelling the great tales of mythology and illuminating fresh new ways of understanding them, The Wisdom of the Myths will enlighten readers of all ages.
"With Luc Ferry as a guide, our passage through the storied landscape of Greek mythology becomes a captivating lesson in philosophy." -Le Monde (France)
"Ferry draws out deeper meanings of myths about how the world works and of the place of mortals in it . . . The Wisdom of the Myths is part of a grand enterprise to revive practical wisdom and secular humanism." - The Guardian
"Comprehensive. . . . [T]he breadth of evidence will sway most readers - Publishers Weekly
"Impressive. . . . A worthy, fun way to enjoy the ancient myths while learning some philosophy."
- Kirkus Reviews
