Mythische De Gruyter Mythological Studies 2- Mythische Sphärenwechsel

Journey to the realm of the dead, transfer to the Island of the Blessed, ascension to heaven - with innovative theoretical and methodological approaches, myths about the change of spheres can be reconstructed as narrative materials with different variants and strata. The new approaches pursued here open up dynamic processes of myth transmission and surprise with the proof of different strata, which reveal an intertwining of several levels of meaning.
