Animals in MythologyMythology
Delahoyde & HughesANIMALS IN MYTHOLOGY Animals seem always to have triggered a complex of emotions and psychological reactions in humans, from admiration and awe to fear and awe. They become the representative manifestations of qualities we try to repress in ourselves and the often victimized recipients of our projected inferiorities. So naturally they not only appear in myths but in many cases seem intrinsically mythological in dimension.
