Myth: A Broadside Portfolio (Vol. 2 No. 10)
The word myth comes from the Greek, meaning ‘story.’ Myths are stories we tell ourselves, about who we are, what we do, and where we come from. Often, myths are dismissed as relics of a bygone era, relegated to ancient peoples. Yet myths are very much a part of modern life. The stories we relate about our country, about belonging, and about how the world works inform our actions and our day-to-day lives. They are how we understand the world. The generic Western conception of time distinguishes between the legendary past and the rationalist present. But if we look closer, we can see that the legendary extends into the present and affects our perceptions. Schoolchildren study the Greek myths in order to gain insight into how the ancients saw the world.
It is in the hope through these examinations you might gain insight into some of your own biases, and thus we present this collection of historical and modern MYTH.
All broadside leaflets are hand crafted and letterpress printed on archival stock. From recipes to poetry, prose, and quotations, Thornwillow broadsides put literature in your pocket.
