Publisher's Synopsis
Symbolic Mythology and Translation of a Lost and Forgotten Language by John Martin Woolsey is a scholarly work that delves into the world of symbolism and mythology. The book explores the use of symbols in ancient cultures and how they were used to convey meaning and communicate important ideas. Woolsey also examines the translation of a lost and forgotten language, which he believes holds the key to unlocking the secrets of ancient cultures. He argues that by understanding the language and symbols of these cultures, we can gain a deeper understanding of their beliefs, values, and way of life. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of symbolic mythology and translation. Woolsey draws on a wide range of sources, including ancient texts, archaeological discoveries, and modern scholarship, to support his arguments and provide a comprehensive overview of the topic. Overall, Symbolic Mythology and Translation of a Lost and Forgotten Language is a thought-provoking and informative read for anyone interested in mythology, symbolism, or ancient cultures. It offers a unique perspective on these topics and provides valuable insights into the ways in which symbols and language can be used to convey meaning and understanding across time and cultures.1917.
