En 'Mito y realidad', Mircea Eliade, reconocido historiador de las religiones, explora la naturaleza y función del mito en la experiencia humana. Para Eliade, el mito no es simplemente una narrativa del pasado, sino una realidad sagrada que permite al ser humano percibir lo trascendente. A través de un análisis profundo de diversas mitologías, desde la antigua Grecia hasta las culturas aborígenes australianas, Eliade revela cómo el mito sigue siendo un instrumento esencial para comprender lo sagrado en el mundo contemporáneo, influyendo incluso en el arte y el pensamiento moderno.

Mircea Eliade was a Romanian historian of religion, fiction writer, philosopher, and professor at the University of Chicago. One of the most influential scholars of religion of the 20th century and interpreter of religious experience, he established paradigms in religious studies. His theory that hierophanies form the basis of religion, splitting the human experience of reality into sacred and profane space and time, has proved influential. One of his most instrumental contributions to religious studies was his theory of eternal return, which holds that myths and rituals do not simply commemorate hierophanies, but actually participate in them.
