Revision as of 11:26, 25 January 2006 by Dbachmann (talk | contribs)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Mythopoeic literature is literature that involves the making of myths. Notable mythopoeic authors are C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and George MacDonald.
The term Mythopoeia (virtual Greek μυθοποεια ) was coined by Tolkien as a title of a poem of his as a reaction to Lewis' statement that myths were "lies breathed through silver".
The Mythopoeic Society exists to promote mythopoeic literature, partly by way of the Mythopoeic Awards.
