And like those texts, the bulkof Daviss book is comprised of well-written prose paraphrases of ancientliteratures. In terms of form and function, it doesnt break any newground; instead, it offers another alternative to speedy referencing.Bracketing each chapter are lists that frame important events in asequential time table called "Mythic Milestones." When read side by side,they constitute a concise timeline of world history. Of perhaps morepedagogical interest are a series of "key questions" that introduce eachnew section. While I personally found such canned questions inane, othersmight refer young readers to them as a way of guiding their experiencewith the material.If there is little doubt of this books usefulness --- you may want, forexample, to spot-check a classical reference as you work your waythrough Popes DUNCIAD --- I wonder about the sheer volume of booksabout mythology on the market these days. Whereas Daviss crystal-clearprose is proof of his years of reading primary texts in the field, theaverage reader of his text may never go any further than here. Naturally,Davis is aware of the importance of the original sources in the myths heretells. This is why so many of his summaries are accompanied by briefpassages from primary source material. This, however, is not enough, noris it the concern of the Dont Know Much About series.================================================================Download the full version of the book now!
