Summary

Robert Graves and Raphael Patai: Hebrew Myths

Hebrew Myths: The Book of Genesis is an exhaustive study of sixty-one stories from the Old Testament and Torah, as well as pre-biblical texts censored over the centuries, that nuances, expands, and rounds out the Book of Genesis. Robert Graves and Raphael Patai, noted scholars of Greco-Roman and Hebrew mythology, go beyond the Christian biblical and Jewish versions of these narratives to redefine the myth. "Myths are dramatic narratives that represent a sacred charter that either justifies the continuation of ancient institutions, customs, rites and beliefs in the area of their existence, or authorizes changes," reads the introduction to this book. These are precisely the myths that underlie all the great Semitic monotheistic religions, the myths from which many of our own structures and concerns spring. In this book, language analysis, rabbinic expansions, and multiple references are covered from creation and cosmology to the fall, the flood, the stories of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph. This is a useful addition to Graves's Greek Myths, as it argues that the Hebrews, unlike the Greeks, used myth to preach national history and destiny. Robert Graves (1895-1985) is one of the most respected and influential English poets of the 20th century, and as a novelist he achieved great success by popularizing historical themes in a completely non-trivial way, giving the characters of his novels contemporary liveliness and plasticity. The Hebrew myths are part of Sandorf's project of publishing the Selected Works of Robert Graves - updating the works of high literary value by the great English stylist. A precise translation of the refined insights of prof. Dr. Željko Bujas (1928-1999) is presented in a new edition for the first time after more than fifty years.
