Cousineau - long-time student of Joseph Campbell, best-selling author and award-winning documentary filmmaker - makes a compelling case that ancient myths are the roadmap by which we live our lives. Drawing from history, movies, pop culture, and his own life experience, he masterfully weaves retellings of classical myths with the contemporary stories of our time. Sisyphus is the inspiration for the French revolution, Dionysus erupts in Jim Morrison, and new science and technology are laid at the feet of Hermes. Science and Spirit Magazine named it Best Book of 2001. Now in paperback!
