As more and more material from other cultures became available, European scholars came to recognize even greater complexity in mythological traditions. Especially valuable was the evidence provided by ancient Indian and Iranian texts such as the Bhagavad-Gita and the Zend-Avesta. From these sources it became apparent that the character of myths varied widely, not only by geographical region but also by historical period.(46). He agreed that the relatively simple Greek myth of Persephone reflects the concerns of a basic agricultural community, whereas the more involved and complex myths found later in Homer are the product of a more developed society.Scholars also attempted to tie various myths of the world together in some way. From the late 18th century through the early 19th century, the comparative study of languages had led to the reconstruction of a hypothetical parent language to account for striking similarities among the various languages of Europe and the Near East. These languages, scholars concluded, belonged to an Indo-European language family. Experts on mythology likewise searched for a parent mythology that presumably stood behind the mythologies of all the European peoples.(47). Muller attributed all later myths to misunderstandings that arose from the picturesque terms in which early peoples described natural phenomena. For example, an expression like 'maiden dawn' for 'sunrise' resulted first in personification of the dawn, and then in myths about her.Later in the 19th century the theory of evolution, put forward by English naturalist Charles Darwin heavily influenced the study of mythology. Scholars researched on the history of mythology, much as they would dig fossil-bearing geological formations, for remains from the dies tan past.(48). In Primitive Culture (1871), Tyler organized the religious and philosophical development of humanity into separate and distinct evolutionary stages. Similarly, British anthropologist Sir James George Frazer proposed a three-stage evolutionary scheme in The golden bough. According to Frazer's scheme, human beings first attributed natural phenomena to arbitrary supernatural forces(magic),later explaining them as the will of the gods (religion), and finally subjecting them to rational investigation(science).The research of British scholar William Robertson Smith, published in Lectures on the Religion of the Semites (1989), also influenced Frazer. Through Smith's work, Frazer came to whom the annual cycles of vegetation were of central importance.(49). This approach reached its most extreme form. in the so-called functionalism of British anthropologist A. R. Radcliffe-Brown, who held that every myth implies a ritual, and every ritual implies a myth.Most analyses of myths in the 18th and 19th centuries showed a tendency to reduce myths to some essential core-whether the seasonal cycles of nature, historical circumstances, or ritual. That core supposedly remained once the fanciful elements of the narratives had been stripped away. In the 20th century, investigators began to pay closer attention to the content of the narratives themselves.(50).[A] German-born British scholar Max Muller concluded that the Rig-Veda of ancient India—the oldest preserved body of literature written in an Indo-European language-reflected the earliest stages of an Indo-European mythology.[B] The myth and ritual theory, as this approach came to be called was developed most fully by British scholar Jane Ellen Harrison. Using insight gained from the work of French sociologist Emile Durkheim, Harrison argued that all myths have their origin in collective rituals of a society.[C] Austrian psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud held that myths-like dreams-condense the material of experience and represent it in symbols.[D] This approach can be seen in the work of British anthropologist Edward Burnett Tyler.[E] The studies made in this period were consolidated in the wor

Many people believe they are suppose to drink eight glasses of water a day, or about 【S1】______two liters. What?Because that is what they have been told all their life.But a new report【S2】______offers some different advice. Experts say people should obey their bodies; they shoulddrink as much water as they feel like drink. 【S3】______The report contains some general suggestion. The experts say women should getabout two-point-seven liters of water day. Men should get about three-point-seven liters.【S4】______But wait--in each case, that is more than eight glasses.There is an important difference. The report does not tell people how many glassesof water to drink. In fact, the experts say it may be possible to know how many glasses 【S5】______are needed to meet these guidelines. This is because the daily water requirement caninclude the water content in foods.People need to drink more water when they are physically active.The same is trueof those live in hot climates.Depending on heat and activity, people could need two times【S6】______so much water as others do. 【S7】______All this, however, docs not answer one question. No one seems sure why peoplehave the idea that good health require eight glasses of water daily. 【S8】______It may have started with a misunderstanding. In nineteen-forty-five, the NationalAcademy of Sciences published some guidelines. Its Food and Nutrition Board said agood number of water for most adults was two-point-five liters daily. This was based on 【S9】______an average of one milliliter for each calorie of food eat.But that was only part of what【S10】______the board said.
