I suppose these must be books on myths, not containing myths in. Like: This behavior of hero X of the myth X2 is paralleled by behavior of hero Y in mythY2, which both must be repetition of the theme set by the hero Z as exhibited in myth Z3, and this latter in its turn is nothing more than Oedipus Complex crudely repeated in less developed norhern cultures... Message being, how clever I, the author, PhD, K.B. etc, am in analysing all these fool's tales
