A Brief Mythology of Petroleum
Files
Description
This work looks at the history of the petroleum industry and its impact on politics, culture, ecology, and other dimensions of earthly life through the lens of myth. Many of the images clinging to the darkness of oil closely resemble those of the mythic Underworld, including burning rivers and desolate landscapes overseen by Pluto, whose name means "wealth."
