Ritual: A Very Short Introduction
5
 
 
Ritual: A Very Short IntroductionRitual is part of what it means to be human. Like sports, music, and drama, ritual defines and enriches culture, putting those who practice it in touch with sources of value and meaning larger than themselves. Ritual is unavoidable, yet it holds a place in modern life that is decidedly ambiguous. What is ritual? What does it do? Is it useful? What are the various kinds of ritual? Is ritual tradition bound and conservative or innovative and transformational?

The Greek Myths: 2 volumes
6
 
 
The Greek Myths: 2 volumesRobert Graves, classicist, poet and unorthodox critic, retells the Greek legends of gods and heroes for a modern audience.
He demonstrates with a dazzling display of relevant knowledge that Greek mythology is 'no more mysterious in content than are modern election cartoons'.
All the scattered elements of each myth are assembled into a harmonious narrative, and many variants are recorded which may help to determine its ritual or historical meaning. Full indexes and references to the classical sources make the book as valuable to the scholar as the general reader.
