Synopsis "Los Mitos Hebreos (in Spanish)"

Si bien es cierto que la mayor parte de los textos que forman la Biblia contienen sólo referencias indirectas a la riqueza mitológica perdida, el Génesis incluye todavía relatos de dioses y diosas antiguos revestidos de la apariencia de hombres, mujeres, ángeles, monstruos o demonios. Escrito por Robert Graves en colaboración con Raphael Patai -destacado antropólogo, folclorista y especialista en temas bíblicos- y complementario del magno trabajo dedicado por Graves al otro gran ámbito mitológico occidental integrado por Los mitos griegos, cuya estructura conserva, Los mitos hebreos analiza de forma sistemática los diversos mitos presentes en el Génesis (La creación, La caída de Lucifer, El nacimiento de Adán y Eva, La caída, El diluvio, La torre de Babel, etc.), que adquieren pleno sentido a la luz de la comparación con las diversas tradiciones de Grecia, Mesopotamia, Egipto o Persia.

Robert Graves (Wimbledon, 1895 – Deià, Mallorca, 1985) was a British writer, poet, and essayist whose work ranges from war poetry to historical novels and mythological essays. He participated in World War I, an experience he depicted in his autobiography Goodbye to All That (1929). He studied at Oxford and was a professor of English literature at the University of Cairo. In 1929, he settled in Deià, Mallorca, where he lived for most of his life. His literary output includes more than 140 works, noted for their erudition and narrative style.

Among his most recognized works are I, Claudius (1934) and its sequel Claudius the God and His Wife Messalina (1943), historical novels that were successfully adapted for television. In the field of essays, notable works include The White Goddess (1948) and The Greek Myths (1955), where Graves offers a reinterpretation of classical mythology from a poetic-anthropological perspective. These works have been influential in the study of mythology and comparative literature.
