Summary: "Origin Myths among the Mountain Peoples of the Philippines" by H. Otley Beyer is an anthropological publication written in the early 20th century. This book explores the rich and varied mythology of the various mountain peoples in the Philippines, focusing on their beliefs regarding the origins of the earth and its inhabitants, including humans, animals, and plants. Beyer’s work aims to preserve these myths, many of which are conveyed through oral tradition and are integral to the cultural and religious practices of these communities. The content of the book is a detailed examination of numerous myths collected from primitive to more developed tribal cultures, such as the Igorot, Ifugao, and various Mindanao tribes. Each myth provides insights into the worldview of these peoples, recounting tales of creation, the dynamics between gods and humans, and the explanation for natural phenomena. For instance, stories address the emergence of the mountains, the cycle of life and death, and relationships among deities, emphasizing themes of morality, nature, and human experience. Beyer's work serves as a foundational text for understanding the significance of mythology in the anthropological study of human culture, showcasing both the theoretical and practical aspects of these rich narratives.
