The Myth Makers is a Greek tale inspired by the life story of Peter Charles Zaloumis. Its theme is based on the ancient Greek belief that everything in the universe is spiritually connected. The terms tale and Odyssey take on new meanings in this book. A tale is defined as a story based on reality, which eventually becomes crowned with grandeur by real experiences and on mythological interpretations of these experiences. Peter's Odyssey is a biography-the story of a long and dangerous journey with many stops and adventures in mythical settings. Poetry, as a mirror of life, is used throughout this book to reflect and illuminate the meaning of Peter's mystical encounters and adventures. While the story of Peter's life told herein is true, some of the characters he met on his journey, and the conversations with them, might best be considered mythology.
