Myth and Darkness explores the mythic terrain where creation and underworld myths meet. Grounded in comparative mythology and depth psychology, this work traces how archetypes and symbols of chaos, darkness, water, and the unknown shape cultural narratives of origin, descent, transformation, and return. Moving across Middle Eastern and Asian traditions, while remaining open to the broader mythic imagination, Myth and Darkness approaches myth not only as scholarship, but as a living encounter with the archetypal forces that shape psyche, culture, and the continual becoming of the world.
