: Have any of you read The Wheel of Time series by Robert
: Jordan?I've only read the first two volumes but it has
: some stunning similarities to the myth story.One of
: which is the legendary Dragon Reborn who dies and gets
: reincarnated every few thousand years to fight the
: Dark One and herald a new Breaking of the World,which
: is similar to the A/B leveller theory.
: Any comments?
although there are many similarities in this series, this is not one i would have picked out, mainly because it seems that in the wheel of time, the dragon reborn is only rand as a reborn of lews therin telamon. not every thousand years, but once.
even though i have noticed other similarities between the novels and myth, i am at a loss to recall one of my own at the moment, but when i remember, i will post.
p.s. when are the admins going to update the section on the relationships of books to myth? it has said coming soon since i joined in the fall of 2002.
