«Canarias en la mitología» is the essay on Canarian mythology by Marcos Martínez Hernández, published by the Centro de la Cultura Popular Canaria in paperback.
The work traces how writers of classical antiquity mentioned the islands and how those references were reinterpreted after the European conquest. It focuses on Atlantis as an insular utopia and on the value of these stories for the construction of the Canarian imaginary.
The book was published in 1992 and is part of the collection Historia popular de Canarias (number 11), within the Biblioteca Canaria, with the subtitle «Historia mítica del archipiélago».
Aimed at the general public, it is a popularising approach to the mythical history and legendary tales of the Canary Islands.
