Heroes & Heroines in Tlingit-Haida LegendPaperback

Heroes & Heroines in Tlingit-Haida Legend

Over uncounted generations the Tlingits and Haidas of Southeast Alaska developed a spoken literature as robust and distinctive as their unique graphic art style, and passed it from the old to the young to insure the continuity of their culture. It's a long way from Southeast Alaska to classical Greece and Rome, but there are striking similarities between the heroes and heroines of the two cultures. For this book the author, Mary L. Beck, a student of both cultures, has selected nine of the ancient Tlingit-Haida legends and drawn parallels between their protagonists and those well-known to the heirs of Greco-Roman culture.
