Alexander in "The Timeless Myths" coins the term, "mythosphere", to describe the reach of myth across cultures and epochs. For Alexander Eliot, the mythosphere is the intellectual and spiritual tissue that embodies our humanity.
Alexander was the lead art critic for Time magazine from 1945 until 1960. His articles on the growth of American post-war art and the rise of New York as the center of the art world were unsigned per Time's policy of that era. But he was able to gather some of the most pertinent information into his volume,"Three Hundred Years of American Painting" - published in 1957. The book was a huge success and along with a Guggenheim grant enabled Alex to move to Greece to further his studies of art and myth which now has led to the crowning work of his career: "The Timeless Myths".
