Beschreibung
With this volume, Greimas gives voice to the cultural memory of hispeople. He is both storyteller and explicator, deciphering the symbolic world ofLithuanian mythology.
This first English translation of ApieDievus ir zmones is a brilliant convergence of Greimas's historical and folkloricstudies. Greimas examines the origins of ancient deities; discusses the concepts oflife and death, fate and fortune; looks at codes used by farmers to organize systemsof mutual obligations and implicit contracts; examines pranks and games associatedwith agrarian seasonal changes; and discusses the semantic reconstruction of thenames and functions of several deities.
Emphasizing the historicdimension of myth analysis, Greimas assembles concepts and deities from scatteredtexts, integrating them into their Lithuanian cultural context. This study ofmythology is his archeology of culture.
