About the Book

Myths Traced to Their Primary Source Through Language is a book written by Morgan P. Kavanagh that explores the origins of myths and legends by analyzing the language used to describe them. The book delves into the meanings behind words and phrases used in ancient myths and legends, tracing them back to their original source and examining how they have evolved over time. Kavanagh draws on a wide range of sources, including ancient texts, folklore, and linguistic analysis, to provide a comprehensive and insightful look at the origins of some of the world's most enduring myths and legends. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in mythology, linguistics, or the history of human culture.1856. The author summarizes his purpose for this text in his own words: ...and though I was then as it were, only feeling my way, I was not the less convinced that the discovery to which I laid claim was real; and however strange it may now appear, I cannot help still entertaining the same opinion. In that work I showed, as well as I could, how man must have first acquired the use of speech; and by the knowledge thence derived I was enabled to account for the ancient belief in the Divine origin of language, to trace letters to their birth, to discover the primary forms and meanings, hitherto unknown, of many words; and finally, to prove that the fables of the heathen mythology, as well as those of religion and ancient history, were first suggested by the several meanings that a name had at different times obtained. Both Volume I and II are contained in this edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
