Acerca deste livro eletrónico

Fallen Titans examines the vital role of titans in shaping ancient cosmologies and religious beliefs, moving beyond the simple narrative of their defeat. It reveals how these powerful beings were integral in forming the universe, with their downfall often leading to new pantheons and belief systems. The book uniquely argues that titan myths symbolize significant shifts in cosmic power, demonstrating humanity's evolving understanding of divinity. For instance, the titanomachy, or war against the titans, is a foundational myth that provides insights into ancient moral frameworks and societal anxieties about power. The book's approach is comparative, drawing from Greek, Norse, and Near Eastern traditions to analyze the titans' roles in creation myths and their battles with subsequent generations of gods. It dissects the symbolic meaning of these conflicts and their impact on cosmic geography, revealing the rise of new divine orders and the establishment of moral codes. The book progresses through three sections, first introducing titans across different mythologies, then focusing on their battles, and finally exploring their lasting legacy in religious and philosophical traditions.
