Classical Mythology
Mythical. Heroic. Legendary.
To know classical mythology is to know yourself.
There is a place from which we all drink, to which we all refer and on which we all rely to understand our reality. That place is an imaginary space that we refer to as mythology.
Do you know where the expression “to stand in stone” comes from? What was “the apple of discord” (I’m telling you that the answer does not include Adam and Eve)? What if I told you that having the eyesight of a lynx has nothing to do with the animal?
In mythology we find the answer to many questions like these. Gods, heroes and mythical creatures star in stories, myths and legends that help us understand ourselves better. Sometimes, they explain the human condition and its values; other times, its flaws and limitations. In any case, they always have something in common: they reflect our fears, concerns and aspirations.
I invite you to discover this fascinating universe that has captivated women and men for thousands of years.
What can you find in mitologiaclasica.com?
Well, a little bit of everything. If you are interested in a particular mythical character, it is very likely that you will find it in this space. We also analyze symbology, meaning of myths, curiosities…
Most of the time, we start from the Greek and Roman tradition, but we also open the door to other mythologies of the world. We compare deities, look for equivalences and analyze different ways of interpreting the same themes. Because at the end of the day, the idea is to learn by looking back to ancient cultures in order to understand our current reality. Are you in?
