This is not a sociological Trinity, as Dumézil's studies, for example, would lead one to believe. Rather, it is an understanding of the divine fire that informs the macrocosm as well as the human microcosm. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe present essay should thus serve to correct the misleading sociological orientations of Dumézilian comparative mythology. At the same time, it will give the reader a glimpse into the extraordinary depth of vision of the \u003ci\u003eprisca theologia\u003c\/i\u003e of the Indo-Europeans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alexander Jacob\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0648607216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780648607212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manticore Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/09\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 86\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.21d","brand":"Alexander Jacob","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45332035600639,"sku":"9780648607212","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_93f71e00-89a0-4d4f-bbd9-efaa86d8a648.jpg?v=1713971566","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/agni-vyu-ditya-alexander-jacob-9780648607212","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
