Discover Christ through ancient myths! The Myth Made Fact takes you on an exploration of Greco-Roman characters, art, and stories—one that spans 50 myths—and traces the links that bind the legends of Hercules, Orpheus, Jason, Phaedra, Oedipus, and others to the Bible and to the Christian life. You’ll glean insight into how the common people of pagan Greece and Rome received their myths and used them as guides to virtuous living. By doing so, Dr. Markos helps his readers understand myth, not as historical tales that contradict the Bible, but as testimonies to the yearnings of people who lacked clear revelation but still hungered and thirsted for Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. This journey through myth unfolds through the origin and Platonic myths, the great heroes, the tragedies of Atreus, and the love narratives, each pointing beyond the lustful and wrathful Olympian gods to the One Holy Creator who stands at the back of all our stories.448 pages, softcover.
