Mystery
Cults and the Pre-Christian Notion of God
[ send
me this paper ]
8 pages in length. An insightful look at Mystery Cults--
groups that pre-date Christianity and yet who believed in
the 'mysteriousness' of God -- found later on in sections of
The Bible (it is noted that God speaks extensively early on
in Genesis and then less and less as 'mysteriousness'
becomes important). The history & origin (dating back to
Ancient Greece) of Mystery Cults is examined as are various

Christianity. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

"The
Romance of Arthur"
[ send
me this paper ]
A 10 page paper which discusses the strengths and weaknesses
of several essays which are to be found in "The Romance
of Arthur: An Anthology of Medieval Texts in
Translation" by James J. Wilhelm. The essays discussed
are "Arthur in the Latin Chronicles" by James J.
Wilhelm, "Arthur in the Early Welsh Tradition" by
John K. Bollard, "Culhwch and Olwen" by Richard M.
Loomis, and "Arthur in Geoffrey of Monmouth" by

strengths than weaknesses in that they truly present the

Advancement
in Knowledge or in Foolishness?

me this paper ]

Male Myth
of Power in Literature
[ send
me this paper ]
(5 pp) A part of the nature of myth is that it continues to
stay alive and active as long as there are people to believe
it. Men have perceived themselves to be in power and they
have acted from that belief. The second part of a power myth
is that it is a one up and a one down relationship, in other
words someone is superior to another. We can see examples of
this is two literary works: in the character of Torvald
Helmer in Ibesen's A Doll's House, and in Edward Rochester
in Bronte's Jane Eyre.

& The Mythopoetic Mind

mind as defined by Mircea Eliade. To Eliade, all mythology

Psychoanalytic
Understanding and Myths, Folktales, and Narrative
[ send
me this paper ]
This 10 page report discusses the fact that modern
psychoanalysis is a multifaceted discipline that depends on
classic Freudian explanations as well as more contemporary
empirical practices. Social scientists, researchers into
human psychology, writers, and even “pop psychologists”
have demonstrated an affinity for the mythological and
heroic aspects of the human psyche. Individuals have been
able to gain a better understanding of and appreciation for
their own capabilities through their association with a
particular culture, classic mythology, or spiritualism. As
it is used and referenced in the practice of psychoanalysis,
cultural myth and narrative serve to offer greater insights
into collective human thinking. Bibliography lists 9
sources.
