Once And Future Myths : The Power of Ancient Stories in Our Lives

Drawing from history, movies, pop culture, and his own life experience, film-maker and writer Phil Cousineau shows how ancient myths continue to affect and shape our contemporary lives. Each chapter moves from the ancient to the modern, from the once, to the now, to the future. As well as retellings of classical myths: Sisyphus, Odysseus, and Kronos, there are new accounts of contemporary myths of time, cities, and vampires.
