Presenting major myth theorists from antiquity to the present, this work offers a cross-disciplinary approach to the study of myth. Rewritten and restructured, it reflects the increased interest in myth among both scholars and general readers since the publication of the first edition.

A type of folklore, myth is central to all cultures. It defines and classifies types of myth and provides numerous examples, many of which illustrate the significance of myth to contemporary society.
