EvhÃ(c)mère, Son Livre Et Sa Doctrine

EvhÃ(c)mère, Son Livre Et Sa Doctrine examines the life and theories of the Greek mythographer and philosopher Euhemerus (c. 330 â€" c. 260 BCE). Raymond de Block explores Euhemerus's rationalizing approach to mythology, known as Euhemerism, which interpreted mythological stories as distorted accounts of historical events and figures. This study delves into Euhemerusâ€(TM)s lost work, often referred to as "Sacred History," and its impact on ancient thought. Block analyzes the surviving fragments and secondary sources to reconstruct Euhemerusâ€(TM)s arguments and assess his place in the history of philosophy and religious thought. A vital resource for scholars and anyone interested in the intellectual history of ancient Greece and the development of critical approaches to mythology.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
