"Ancient Mysteries" by Peter James
Has anyone else read "Ancient Mysteries" by Peter James?

I have been reading it for the past few days and it is very interesting. It basically looks at all sorts of legends and myths and tries to find their roots in history (for example, King Arthur, Theseus and the Minotaur, Amazons, Soddom & Gomorrah, etc.).

Would like to get others opinions and discuss some of the sections.

Thanks

1. Try the PBS series or book
"Transformations of myth through time" with Joseph Campbell. He is a true genius and scholar, and will bring it all together for you.

My local public library has it (I just checked) and it's in. I'd like to discuss it, too.

Anyone else want to join us?
