Exploring the convergence of voices across cultures and eras, the book delves into how myths serve as tools for authors and audiences to address fundamental questions about the universe. It emphasizes that interpretations of these myths evolve with societal changes, such as the interactions between Western and non-Western cultures or significant events. The authors propose that understanding the flow between events is more crucial than the events themselves in shaping human sociality and worldview.
