The Wisdom of the Myths

No mere legends or clichés ("Herculean task," "Pandora's box," "Achilles heel," etc.), these classic stories offer profound and manifold lessons, providing the first sustained attempt to answer fundamental human questions concerning "the good life," the burden of mortality, and how to find one's place in the world.

Nu sunt simple legende sau clisee (,,Sarcina herculeana", ,,Cutia Pandorei", ,,Calcaiul lui Ahile" etc.), aceste povesti clasice ofera lectii profunde si multiple, reprezentand prima incercare sustinuta de a raspunde la intrebari umane fundamentale referitoare la ,,viata buna", la povara mortalitatii si la cum sa-ti gasesti locul in lume.
