African mythology: sacred stories underlining how much all humanity has in common January 28, 2002 We have a pretty good search engine here at Your dot com for Africa. We came across a book by Clyde W. Ford that talks to mythology in Africa. It is entitled, The Hero with an African Face: Mythic Wisdom of Traditional Africa. So, as is our custom, we fired up the search engine and used the keyword "mythology." Here’s a representative sample of what we came across: Greece and Rome, Legends of King Arthur and Charlemagne, Norse, Scandinavian and Viking mythology, Irish mythology, paganism and herbal healing, mythology in Western art, and American folklore. But nothing on mythology in Africa. It has been some time since we knowingly concerned ourselves with the subject of mythology, so we had to spend some time getting up to speed on what it is. As a general popular notion, mythology is fiction. That is, most people see mythology as not true. But we have learned that scholars of mythology have a different perspective. They see a myth as a very special kind of story that tries to interpret some aspect of the world around us. Aristotle himself said this of the myth: "Therefore, even the lover of myth is in a sense a philosopher; for myth is composed of wonders."

Subjects and Titles Key Features Subjects and Titles Introduction General Reference ... Sample Entries A Dictionary of African Mythology Harold Scheub 400 entries This collection of hundreds of fascinating, mysterious, and revealing tales captures the immense sweep and diversity of African mythology. Stories are arranged alphabetically, and touch on virtually every aspect of religious belief: gods and goddesses, epic heroes and divine tricksters, along with epics of the world's origins, the struggle between the human and the divine, and much more. Entries cover the entire continent, from the mouth of the Nile to the shores of the Cape of Good Hope, including North African as well as sub-Saharan cultures. Here, for example, is the tale of Abu Zayd (from the Bani Hilal of Tunisia), an epic hero who battles a jinni; and here too is a myth of how the moon and the toad created the first man and woman, from the Soko of Congo. Each story is retold, and information is provided about the respective belief system, the main characters, and related stories or variants. This magnificent collection not only provides hundreds of fascinating myths, but also recaptures their cultural contexts, in which story and storyteller, tradition and performance, all merge.
