He is both storyteller and explicator, deciphering the symbolic world of Lithuanian mythology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis first English translation of \u003ci\u003eApie Dievus ir zmones\u003c\/i\u003e is a brilliant convergence of Greimas's historical and folkloric studies. Greimas examines the origins of ancient deities; discusses the concepts of life and death, fate and fortune; looks at codes used by farmers to organize systems of mutual obligations and implicit contracts; examines pranks and games associated with agrarian seasonal changes; and discusses the semantic reconstruction of the names and functions of several deities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmphasizing the historic dimension of myth analysis, Greimas assembles concepts and deities from scattered texts, integrating them into their Lithuanian cultural context. This study of mythology is his archeology of culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 248\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 9.1 x 6.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 22, 1992\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42563844964448,"sku":"9780253326522","price":82.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/bDROMHBrV1Z2NUdGYXRSSjRTQWVVdz09.webp?v=1770418512","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/of-gods-and-men-hardcover-1","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
