    Greek mythology is the body of myths and teachings that belong to the ancient Greeks, concerning their gods and heroes, the nature of the world, and the origins and significance of their own cult and ritual practices. It was a part of the religion in ancient Greece. Modern scholars refer to and study the myths in an attempt to shed light on the religious and political institutions of ancient Greece and its civilization, and to gain understanding of the nature of myth-making itself.
    Greek mythology has had an extensive influence on the culture, arts, and literature of Western civilization and remains part of Western heritage and language. Poets and artists from ancient times to the present have derived inspiration from Greek mythology and have discovered contemporary significance and relevance in the themes.
    Greek mythology is explicitly embodied in a large collection of narratives, and implicitly in Greek representational arts, such as ancient vase-paintings and votive gifts.

    Since I’ve been an adult and out from under my paster-parents’ constant mind control it’s always puzzled me why we refer to non Jewish, Christian, Islamic beliefs as “mythology”. At first i thought it was the ages. But the best i can tell Judaism predates Roman beliefs, although they are based on much older Greek religion. What a treasure to have all of the lost, oral tradition beliefs of the millennia past - but i get aside from the point. It seems that modern religious people want to diminish ancient beliefs by neglecting to refer to them as religion. And as someone with beliefs that are not part of any collective, I believe the polytheistic religions of tens of centuries back to be so much more engaging.

      I think people more often call it a 'mythology' not a 'religion' not to diminish but to acknowledge that those stories are folklore of common folk and creatures outside the divine realm and their interactions with gods, half-gods and supernatural beings. There is much less about a 'belief' in those stories as Gods literally walk among humans, interact with them, live among them. It is hard not to believe in someone's existence when that someone is literally standing right next to you :)

    • @timflatus
      @timflatus 3 роки тому +4

      That's a good point. I guess there is a distinction being made between "scripture" and just stories / legends. Religion has this way of producing rather rigid beliefs, there is much greater freedom of interpretation with mythology

    • @thehuntergod5578
      @thehuntergod5578 2 роки тому

      Says the guy with double “m” initials. Greeks, like all *Indo-European* speaking peoples, are descendants of Aryans as much as the original Persians, Italians, Romanians, Germans, etc, and Greeks are very much part of the Aryan migration period which subsequently brought consciousness to this ungodly world.
      And you’re probably a freemason i.e. traitors to the Aryan race.

    • @thehuntergod5578
      @thehuntergod5578 2 роки тому

      And if you’re not a freemason, your name is Irish and as Aryan as it gets, as Iran & Ireland share the same names etymologically speaking. Ireland is actually pronounced Eireann which is a cognate of Iran and both mean “Aryan”.
