The Hero and the Sea
Author: Donald H. Mills
Publisher: Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers
ISBN: 0865165084
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
Ancient myths about watery chaos uniquely transcend time and culture to speak to the universal human condition as expression to the hopes, aspirations and fears that have defined--for ancient thinkers as well as modern scientists--what it means to be human in a chaotic world. "The Hero and the Sea examines the mythological pattern of heroic battles with watery chaos in the "Gilgamesh Epic, the "Iliad, the "Odyssey, and the Old Testament, in the light of anthropology, comparative religion, literature, mythology, psychology, and modern chaos theory; how mythic patterns of heroic battle with chaotic adversaries respond to the cultural needs, religious concerns, and worldview of their audience. The last chapter explores points of contact between the ancient mythic patterns and the discoveries of modern scholars engaged in the theoretical study of chaos and chaotics.

Book Description
FTL travel brings planetary systems together but with the cost of Chaos that no machine can navigate. Only the elite pilots or tezars of the Choyan race can reliably helm a starship. Palaton is one such pilot. Other races of the Compact would--and have--done almost anything to learn their secret. Palaton faces that danger as well as the strife and upheaval of his own planet Cho. Caught in a power struggle, he faces the inevitable burnout of his ability. He will turn to a secret experiment with a young civilization hoping to gain its own place among the stars, a race which calls itself "human".
