Summary

Parabola's Summer 1994 issue: Twins The symbol of twins, so richly elaborated in the mythology of many cultures, is a picture of our own duality. The stories tell us that we are all twins, that the sense of duality is inborn. Whether we are outside looking in, or inside looking out, we are two--or more. --from the editorial Focus Cover: The Hero Twins face underworld lord Itzamna Rollout photograph of a Maya vase by Justin Kerr (Kerr File #1183, copyright 1980) Courtesy of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and by permission of Justin Kerr In this issue:
