The Lost Catacomb
“They are, at once, both literal figurations and broadly symbolic narratives. They explain how man discovered fire—or, rather, stole it from its rightful owners. Why winter makes its fearsome appearance with such terrible regularity—or, rather, why spring and summer can never last. Why mermaids sing their sultry siren songs, tempting us to misdeeds, or how evil came into this naughty world when a curious and rather silly young girl opened a tiny, innocuous-looking box.
Of such seemingly mino...r events is the fabric of man’s time on earth woven.
Myths, in fact, spring from the most elementary realities, the perceived realities of our lives—lives all human beings have led since they first tumbled into the light of day unbidden. There are heroes and villains, as in any good tale. There is both conflict and congress, both good and evil.
There is literal fire, flaming brightly with a bold and orange glow, and there is the passionate fire of the indomitable human spirit, the raging fires of war and destruction, and the fierce radiance that is the pledge of undying love.MoreLess
