Beschreibung
When looking at the first mythological and philosophical works from antiquity, it is very easy to get lost in the "facts" surrounding these ancient works and lose sight of their true meaning and import to the people and cultures within which these works emerged from and out of. Much of the modern academic and scholarly literature concerning these ancient "theo-philosophical" works falls into this category. To a large extent, the purpose of this work is to try and recover said meanings of these ancient works as much as possible, and to look at them within a much broader theological, mythological and philosophical narrative that we find throughout Eurasia in the first millennium BCE, the so-called "Axial Age" of modern man.
