Mythologie Des Westens. Die Masken Gottes 3 by Joseph Campbell
A comparative survey of Western mythic traditions from the ancient Near East and classical antiquity through medieval Christianity to the modern era, arguing that the cultural “masks” of the divine shift as societies transform. It examines recurring motifs—the hero, sacrifice, cosmogenesis, and manifestations of the sacred—and interprets how myths express psychological needs and social structures, using comparative and psychoanalytic perspectives to show myth as a living response to historical change. The work emphasizes myth’s adaptive power to shape identity and guide human experience across epochs.
