Iyasere and Mazisi Kunene contribute here on myth, oral tradition and African cosmological systems. Armah's vision of history is examined both in the way that it appears in his novels and in comparison with Ouologuem and Soyinka;also examined are Elechi Amadi's view of the gods, Achebe's use of myth in Arrow of God and the inward journey of Tutuola's Palm-Wine Drinkard.
