“Studying mythology, we are not engaged in gray antiquity and not exotic cultures. We study our own worldview ” - this thesis made the course of Alexandra Leonidovna Barkova forever memorable to her students. Ancient legends about gods and heroes appear in its lectures as part of a single complex of representations, permeating centuries and peoples. The mythological systems of Ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, Scandinavia and India are revealed in conjunction, thanks to which the individual features of each culture are clearly visible. A special place is given to mythological universals, manifested through centuries and millennia.
