Title: And your point is?
Product review: Mr. Eliot has done what so many other 'mythologists' have done before him; infuse his ego into every letter of the book. While no one can doubt his grasp of academic mythology/mythological concepts, the elemental portion seems to elude him. He just doesn't seem to 'get it'. Myth shouldn't be only about presenting fanciful stories and then unveiling the obvious metophors within, we need to go deeper and find out why was this particular story created in the first place? Eliot also falls into that other white male scholar trap of limiting his references to Asian and Classical mythology. It seems a near racist act omitting Austrailan, African and Carribean stories and tales. This book has no form or logical progression. While the stream of consciousness style works for some, it did not work here. Buy this book used.
