Greetings all,
I've been looking for a good book on comparitive mythology. I was looking at one, called Parallel Myths by J.F. Bierlein, but was put off by the fact that it was kind of bare bones and in the end tried to justify irrational belief in myths.. I'm looking for a good source guide, not propaganda. I'm also not really looking for a Christ myth book, as interesting as those are, because I'm actually mostly interested in comparing the Semitic beliefs like Judaism to each other and to Indo-European myths.
Does anyone know a good book like that?
