Using a comparative approach, and writing for the non- specialist, Lemming (emeritus, English and comparative literature, U. of Connecticut, Storrs) argues for a shared tradition of mythology in Europe. An initial chapter describes the earliest myths, as these are preserved in cave paintings and carvings in the Paleolithic and early Neolithic eras.
