Combining insights from art history, visual studies, cognitive narratology and cognitive semiotics, this book explores the human proclivity for story-telling and the power of myth in constituting and shaping reality in text and image. It establishes myth as one venue in world-making and addresses scholars in cultural history and antiquity studies.
