Studies in Religious Myth and Symbol

In 'Mephistopheles and the Androgyne', Mircea Eliade delves into the symbolism of the devil and androgyny, examining their roles in religious myths and mystical experiences.

The book explores the concept of 'coincidentia oppositorum', or the union of opposites, which is central to understanding the reconciliation of good and evil, male and female.

Eliade's work is a comprehensive analysis of myth and symbol in the context of comparative religious studies.
