We can see love, betrayal, and friendship in the heavens, if we know where to look. A world expert on cultural understandings of cosmology, Anthony Aveni provides an unconventional atlas of the night sky, introducing readers to tales beloved for generations. The constellations included are not your typical Greek and Roman myths, but star patterns conceived by a host of cultures, non-Western and indigenous, ancient and contemporary. The sky has long served as a template for telling stories about the meaning of life. People have looked for likenesses between the domains of heaven and earth to help marry the unfamiliar above to the quotidian below. Perfect reading for all sky watchers and storytellers, this book is an essential complement to Western mythologies, showing how the confluence of the natural world and culture of heavenly observers can produce a variety of tales about the shapes in the sky"-- Jacket 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Constellations.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85031313 650 0 Constellations|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85031313|xMythology.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh00006805 650 0 Constellations|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85031313|vFolklore.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99001556 650 0 Astrology and mythology.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh93001786 650 0 Astronomy, Ancient.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85009013 650 0 Archaeoastronomy.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh85009023 650 0 Ethnoastronomy.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh99002044 650 7 Constellations.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/875735 650 7 Mythology.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1031701 650 7 Astrology and mythology.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/819435 650 7 Astronomy, Ancient.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 819761 650 7 Ethnoastronomy.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/916071 650 7 Archaeoastronomy.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 812887 650 7 SOCIAL SCIENCE|xFolklore & Mythology.|2bisacsh 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Folklore.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423784 655 7 e-books.|2aat 776 08 |iPrint version:|aAveni, Anthony F.|tStar stories.|dNew Haven : Yale University Press, [2019]|z9780300241280 |w(DLC) 2019936113|w(OCoLC)1090012273 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2260661|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
