Excerpt from Alsea d104s and Myths The materials presented in the following volume arc based on collections made by Dr. Leo J. Frachtenberg and Prof. Livingston Farrand, now president of the University of Colorado. The inception of the work dates back to an enterprise in which the late Mr. Henry Yillard took n lively interest. From 1898 an attempt was made to study in detail the vanishing tribes of the Pacific const. While the late Mr. Collis P. Huntington and afterwards Mr. Archer M. Huntington contributed funds for this work in California, which subsequently was continued by the University of California in the able hands of Prof. Alfred L. Kroobor and Dr. Pliny Earle Goddard, Mr. Villnrd undertook to provide funds for work in Oregon. The field work at first was undertaken by Professor Farrand, who worked among the Alsea and later among the Salmptin tribes, and by Mr. Harry Hull St. Clair, 2d, who collected material among the Coos. After Mr. Villard's death the work was discontinued, but Mis. Villnrd very generously placed at our disposal funds for completing the field work among the Alsea. Tho completion of this work was directed jointly by tho Bureau of American Ethnology and Columbia University in the City of New York, and its execution was in trusted to Dr. Loo J. Frachtenberg, who collected new material, revised the collections made by Professor Farrand, and digested tho accumulated data. Our thanks arc due to Mr. and Mrs. Villnrd, whose generosity has enabled us to record the language and traditions of a people that arc on the verge of extinction.

Popular Hopi kachina dolls and awesome totem poles are but two of the aspects of the sophisticated, seldom-examined network of mythologies explored in this fascinating volume. This revealing work introduces readers to the mythologies of Native Americans from the United States to the Arctic Circle—a rich, complex, and diverse body of lore, which remains less widely known than mythologies of other peoples and places. In thematic chapters and encyclopedia-style entries, Handbook of Native American Mythology examines the characters and deities, rituals, sacred locations and objects, concepts, and stories that define and distinguish mythological cultures of various indigenous peoples. By tracing the traditions as far back as possible and following their evolution from generation to generation, Handbook of Native American Mythology offers a unique perspective on Native American history, culture, and values. It also shows how central these traditions are to contemporary Native American life, including the continuing struggle for land rights, economic parity, and repatriation of cultural property.

Excerpt from A Hand-Book of Mythology: The Myths and Legends of Ancient Greece and Rome In endeavouring to supply this want I have sought to place before the reader a lifelike picture of the deities of classical times as they were conceived and worshipped by the ancients themselves, and thereby to awaken in the minds of young students a desire to become more intimately acquainted with the noble productions of classical antiquity.

Excerpt from Greek and Roman Mythology Misunderstanding that it is sought to avoid is the popular association of these anthropomorphic con ceptions and imaginative tales with the Romans. The writer has wished to make it clear that what is known as classical mythology is a product of Greece, and that in general the Latin writers have merely retold stories that were not original with their people. The Greek names have therefore been employed primarily, even though they are less familiar than the Latin. It may seem in consistent that this has been done even when the version of a tale as it appears in the work of some Latin poet, e.g., Ovid, has been followed, but it is not the nomenclature, which is Latin, but the subject matter and the conception of the tale, which is Greek, that has been followed. Where the story is mainly of Latin development Latin names have been used. Perhaps it may seem that too scant attention has been paid to Roman gods, but when one deals with Roman deities one quickly gets out of the realm of mythology into that of ritual and history, subjects which seem out of place in such a book as this.

The Haida world is a misty archipelago a hundred stormy miles off the coasts of British Columbia and Alaska. For a thousand years and more before the Europeans came, a great culture flourished in these islands. The masterworks of classical Haida sculpture, now enshrined in many of the world's great museums, range from exquisite tiny amulets to magnificent huge housepoles. Classical Haida literature is every bit as various and fine. It extends from tiny jewels crafted by master songmakers to elaborate mythic cycles lasting many hours. The linguist and ethnographer John Swanton took dictation from the last great Haida-speaking storytellers, poets and historians from the fall of 1900 through the summer of 1901. His Haida hosts and colleagues had been raised in a wholly oral world where the mythic and the personal interpenetrate completely. They joined forces with their visitor, consciously creating a great treasury of Haida oral literature in written form. Poet and linguist Robert Bringhurst has worked for many years with these century-old manuscripts, which have waited until now for the broad recognition they deserve.
