The fate of the preternaturally beautiful Adonis is one of the main fables upon which Segal focuses, in an attempt to analyse the various different theories of myth. Where the theory does not work, he substitutes another myth, showing that, for all their claims to all-inclusiveness, certain theories, in fact, only apply to specific kinds of myths.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IH PENTZ BOOKSELLERS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46929618043042,"sku":null,"price":100.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/4047\/3732\/files\/81D3xYe-hiL._SY522.jpg?v=1776072197","url":"https:\/\/pentzbooks.co.za\/products\/myth-a-very-short-introduction-by-robert-a-segal","provider":"I H Pentz Booksellers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
