In the human veins there is effluence of the stream of the stories which carries heal of the myths and the legends for as long as the world existed. In "Timeless Tales", we go through this vast area of these interesting stories in an effort to evaluate their body and soul and determine the impact of society, psychology today and in arts and contemporary literature. As for our voyage, it starts with the Greco-Egyptian lore that has no beginning and end and is heralded by the frozen civilized bleakness of the North. We get into the worlds of gods and heroes and meet with such representations within ourselves and our lives. Through the twists and turns of the stories, profound messages are revealed regarding such things as confusion and structure, pain and ecstasy, annihilation and resurrection. This book is more than the straightforward analysis of mythology; it is an attempt to awaken the world to the value of stories and finite; it is a call to face the questions that have been asked since the dawn of time and to live fully in the face of mystery.
