This is especially true of choral play, where narratives from divine lore often form the core of the poems.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Choral songs also developed in conjunction with religious celebrations.

[1] Archaeological sources The development of Greek mythology may also have been shed light on archaeology.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Notable here have been, above all, the discovery of the Minoan and Mycenaean cultures of Bronze Age Greece and Crete in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Mycenaean culture was discovered thanks to the work of Heinrich Schliemann in the 19th century.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

In a straightforward style, he combined many of his findings directly with Greek mythology.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

His findings about Troy, he linked directly to the narrative of the Trojan War, and Mykene, in turn, to accounts of the Greeks who went to war.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Jewellery found in Troy he called “Priamos's treasures” and “Helena's jewellery”.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

A golden death mask found in Mycenae he referred to as the “death mask of Agamemnon” and the goddess statues found there as preforms of Hera and Aphrodite.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

In reality, many of the findings were related to earlier times than the supposed Trojan War timing and, naturally, cannot otherwise be linked to descriptions of mythology as straightforwardly.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Arthur Evans, who discovered Minoan culture, steered research in a more modern direction, interpreting the discoveries in a broader historical, cultural and geographical context.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

[2] [7] In any case, the findings have explained many features of Homer's works and have provided evidence for many details of mythology.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Although so-called Linear B inscriptions have also survived from Mycenaean culture, which have been capable of deciphering to a large extent, knowledge of Bronze Age myths and rituals is still mostly based on the interpretation of monumental buildings and other finds.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

This is due to the fact that known texts are mainly different inventories of goods.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

However, many names of gods and heeros appear in them, some of which have also been able to be associated with names found in Greek mythology (see: Mycenaean religion).


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

[8] Notable have also been pottery finds, particularly from the geometric period, but also from the Classical and Hellenistic periods.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

In the decoration of earthenware, mythological or other religious subjects, such as those related to rituals and cults, are most often depicted.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

They are significant in two ways: Firstly, some of them date to a time before the myths were brought into written form in the works of Homer and Hesiodos, and are thus the earliest evidence for myths, in some cases dating back hundreds of years earlier.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Secondly, there are also myths in the decoration and their details, which are not known from any literary source.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Thus illustration from a later period also complements the written evidence.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Pottery also extends knowledge of myths in the sense that it often tells of myths circulating among common folk, not just literary myths.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

[9] [10] [11] Mythology and Chronology The field of Greek mythology is extremely extensive.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

It stretches from the deeds of the early gods and giants through the Trojan War and the seven war expeditions against Thebes all the way to Herme's childhood pranks.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

The narratives of mythology were often mutually contradictory and local.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Several different, mutually contradictory myths could be told about the same god or heeros; for example, two completely different stories were told about the genesis of both Aphrodite and Dionysus.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

On the other hand, again, the same myth might be associated with several characters; for example, corybants danced around both the newborn Zeus and Dionysus.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

[6] Due to contradictions, an accurate setting of Greek mythology on the timeline is impossible, but a large-scale chronology can be constructed.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

The narratives are roughly divided into three parts: The Time of the Gods A time when gods and people were freely interacting with each other and the Time of Heroes, where the role of gods was smaller.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

The chronology involves the myth of the age periods of the world.

While Kronos ruled the world, a golden age existed, when gods and men lived blissfully without sorrow and trouble.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

After being killed, they made their way to the Blessed Islands.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

The Greeks who told the myths considered themselves to live this time.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

[12] The Greeks of the Archaic and Classical periods clearly preferred the time of heroes in narratives.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

For example, the Iliad and the Odyssey depicting the period in question were clearly favoured by the genesis of the Gods and the Homeric hymns focused on the gods.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Later mythscholars, on the other hand, have often found a more interesting section on the birth dates of gods.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Time of the Gods The Greek gods Herodotus held that Homer and Hesiodos had created a Greek view of gods, given the gods their names, positions and functions, and described the appearance of them.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

This is true insofar as Homer and Hesiodos did not invent gods, but took their subject from earlier oral lineage and old cults, these nevertheless gave the Greeks a pantheon of gods, the totality of gods, that is, the world of gods.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

As a result, older local deities were gradually sidelined and replaced by a pan-Greek view of the totality of gods and key events in mythology.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

However, old beliefs were left to live on as side-plots of narratives and local variations of gods and events.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

These inhabited Mount Olympos, with the exception of Haade, who inhabited the underworld, of which his name was also used.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Alongside the Homeric gods, however, a small group of primitive, pre-Homeric gods survived, who were never incorporated into the homeric god world, but who still attained a central place in pan-Greek beliefs and cults.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

The most central of these gods were Demeter, Dionysus, and Asclepios.

Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

The battle of Zeus and Typhon caused a catastrophe similar to the battle of the Titans and the gods: the mountains caved in, and the seas and lands changed shape.

up to authoritative speech, discussion and narratives.

[42] A juxtaposition of the words logos and mythos later developed, with the former referring more generally to speech and the latter to various narratives and fables.

[42] Herodotus, in his work on History, used the word mythos to describe explanations not based on any observations or evidence (for example, numerous theories of that time about the cause of the flooding of the Nile), as well as various, in his opinion, aimless narratives (such as the account of how Busiris wanted to sacrifice Heracles).

Greek mythology

[41] [43] In ancient Greece, myths were part of everyday life.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Today, myth is usually conceived as a commonly known idea, which is nonetheless untrue.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

The Greeks rather conceived myths as commonly known narratives expressing some deeper truth that could not be presented in any other way, such as scientifically.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

For example, myths were used to explain the birth of the world, various natural phenomena, as well as the origin of evil occurring in the world.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

For example, the myth of Persephone's abduction explained the cycle of seasons.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Myths also explained psychology in such a way that different gods reflected human natures, and different desires and character traits were controlled by different gods.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

For example, Helena explained that she left for Troy because she was taken over by Aphrodite.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Myths also explained historical events, such as why Troy was overthrown as a result of various human and divine actions.

Greek mythology

[44] Myths also explained, among other things, cultural differences and the origins of peoples” friendships and hostilities.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Especially the exalted lineages wanted to be attributed to the gods and thus incorporated into mythology.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

In antiquity, many myths were considered educational narratives, and teaching them was a central part of Greek civilization (paideia).


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

The narratives were listened to, read and memorized.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Through them, among other things, virtues were taught.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Various sages and philosophers presented different views on the subject and what kind of poetry came to be taught.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

The problem was central to Solon, Theognis, Socrates, and Sophists, among others.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

[41] In addition, myths also had an entertaining function in the style of folk tales.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Later, they served as the standard material of Greek literature.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

[42] While Greek mythology in the 5th century BCE.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

became established, many early philosophers such as Xenophanes, as well as historians such as Hekataios, began to distance themselves from mythology or abandoned it altogether.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Thus, both philosophy and historiography gradually began to separate themselves from myths.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

[41] [43] Myth and Philosophy Greek mythology and Greek philosophy are often set as opposing approaches to explaining the world.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

During the early stages of Greek philosophy under so-called pre-socratic philosophy, the distinction was not yet apparent.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Many early philosophers, such as Ferekydes (Heptamykhos), Empedocles (From Nature), and Parmenides (From Nature), presented their philosophy in myth form or very myth-like language, some of them even in the hexameter form used by epic poetry.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

On the other hand, the mythological descriptions of the genesis of the Gods in Hesiodos, for example, responded in a way to the same problem as the contemplations of the first pre-socratics.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Aristotle, however, considered philosophy to have originated precisely from the abandonment of mythological world explanations and beginning to look for natural causes of things: instead of theological explanations, natural explanations were sought, which were meant to convince others other than just the person presenting them.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

[45] Xenophanes rejected the myths because he regarded them as obscene and falsified narratives in which gods and heeros were put in to do all the things that people generally consider shameful, including all forms of theft, adultery, and other treachery.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

He wanted a ban on performing such things at banquets and poetry competitions.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Xenophanes also criticized the notion that gods are born, as well as the way to portray gods as human characters.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

[43] [41] Theagenes, who was an early Homers critic, interpreted myths as among the first allegories, or metaphors.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

He saw, for example, the various gods as elements and forces of nature; Poseidon was water, Hera the air, Artemis the moon, etc. Empedocles continued the metaphorical interpretation of Theagenee by combining classical elementals with various gods.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Anaxagoras is reported to have interpreted the myths as moral allegories.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Metrodoros Lampsacosan, in turn, interpreted the persons of the Trojan War metaphorically: Agamemnon was the ether, Achilleus the sun, Helena the earth, Paris the air, etc. [43] According to Plato, myths came to be judged by their educational value.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

He therefore criticized the mythology and oral tradition of his time (mythology and archhaiology) in several ways.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Good and bad myths existed about him, and much of the myths were of the latter: they consisted of rumours, oracle recitations, neverending and changing family trees, narratives of the founding of cities, and all sorts of fables and sayings.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Myths sought to please the lowest part of the soul, which was susceptible to all kinds of passions, and were, beyond control, harmful and downright dangerous.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

In the ideal state depicted by the state, myths had been censored by driving the poets out of town.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

The farm was to produce a new “mythology” which was a “useful and beautiful lie”.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Its purpose was to keep society together through shared narratives and opinions, and to encourage people to act fairly.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

[41] Plato himself presented many of his ideas in the form of myths and thus used them to illustrate his doctrine of ideas; some examples are the ER myth of the State and the Atlantis myth of Timaios and Critiaa.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Some of his myths Plato created himself purely as instruments of his philosophy.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

[46] [47] Myths and History Some of the myths possibly have some sort of historical basis and may be considered as history told in oral form before historiography.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

On the other hand, many myths have no connection at all to historical events.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

[3] However, historicist interpretations must be careful and often errors and excesses occur when myths are supposed to speak more directly than they do.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

[48] Greek mythology largely tells of the Mycenaean period, namely the Greek Bronze Age.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Narratives about the persons and events of the Hero Age are likely based at least in part on the ages of Mycenaean culture, as well as actual events in the so-called dark centuries following its destruction.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Significant cities often play a central role in the narratives.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Someone's city's role in mythology seems to have a direct connection to how significant a centre it has been in the Mycenaean period.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Likewise, many key circles of lore seem to revert to the Mycenaean period, so that they have been told unbroken through the so-called dark centuries.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

The myths often feature kings, which can tell of the Mycenaean kingage; on the other hand, kings may simply be appropriate person characters when strong, independent actors are needed.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

[49] Some of the myths may have arisen on the basis of actual events, with increasingly fabled material coming into detail, as events have been narrated mouth-to-mouth and the actual time of events in history has gradually been obscured or forgotten altogether.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

An example is the story of the Trojan War.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Several scholars are of the opinion that the war has at least some sort of historical basis, although the war, with certainty, has not been as it appears in narratives.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

It might tell of a real war or wars, a general conflict between the regions, or mainly the establishment of Greek settlements in the Trojan region.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Many smaller war expeditions may have turned into one major war in myth, and similarly narratives of several different individuals may have eventually become part of the narrative of one great hero.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

The story of the Trojan War seems to have acted as a kind of “magnet”, drawing upon itself several local depictions of battle and heroes from across the Greek world.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

[50] [51] Similarly, for example, the myths of the Seven and Epigons war expeditions against Thebes might be related to the wars between Thebes and Argos around 1300—1200 BCE, in which Thebes was possibly first spared and then destroyed.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

The narratives, however, contain so many mythical and possibly borrowed ingredients that they do not connect with history except through the fact that Thebes was truly destroyed around that time.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

[52] [53] Many myths seem to tell about the movements of the Greek tribes and which region is inhabited from which place.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

These might inform historical events in some form.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

[49] For example, in the lore of the maiden of Europe, Zeus plundered her from Phoenicia, after which the brothers of Europe went looking for this.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Of the brothers, Kadmos wandered on Thasos, among others, as well as several more southerly Aegean islands.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

This is possibly about which islands have had links to Phoenicia, such as Phoenician settlements; Greek historians cite as Phoenician trading posts, among others, precisely Thasos and Thera and Rhodes.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

[54] In addition to events in the Mycenaean period, the myths also seem to have preserved reminders of the earlier, poorly known pre-Hellenic communities of Greece, such as the Minoans and Pelags.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

In particular, the narrative of Theseus, the Minotaur and the Labyrinth seems to be based on a distant memory of the palace of Knossos, as well as Minoan culture with some sort of bull cults.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

[2] The title of King Minos must have been originally a Cretan monarch title (cf.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

pharaoh), not a personal name.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

The narrative has been put forward to describe, for example, some liberation of the Mycenaean Greeks of mainland Greece from the Minoans around the 13th century BCE.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

[54] Some scholars also believe that the three main genera of gods (Uranos, Gaia, etc., Titans and the Gods of Mount Olympos) also mirror the ancient struggle between the three groups, Minoans, Mycenaeans and Hellenes.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

However, information about the history of this era is so scarce that it cannot be further clarified.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

In the early stages of Greek historiography, myth and history were often intertwined so that historiography began with myths and then progressed to the historical period.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Herodotus told myths as part of his historiography, although he distinguished them from known events.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Even Thukydides seems to have regarded at least Deukalion, Hellen, and the Trojan War as historical.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

[55] Euhemeros saw all myths as historical in origin even to the extent that he considered Zeus and the other gods to have originally been kings, later converted into gods in narratives.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

This is called euhemerism.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

[56] Other theories of origin Even in antiquity, among others, Herodotus speculated that the Greeks borrowed their goddess from the Egyptians.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Early Christian authors saw Hellenistic paganism as a degeneration of Biblical narratives.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Since the 18th—20th centuries, archaeologists and linguists have sought to unravel the roots of Greek mythology scientifically.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Linguists have shown that certain gods were inherited from the early Indo-European community, as was the Greek language.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

For example, Zeus is related as a word to Juppiter in Latin, Dyaeus in Sanskrit and Tyr of the Germans (based on these, a construct of the supergod of the cantaindo-Europeans, Dyeus) has been developed.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

In other cases, similarities between the status and function of the god character suggest a common origin, although linguistic kinship has not been established due to the scarcity of source material.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

This is the case with the Moirie of Greek mythology and the Norns of Scandinavian mythology, among others (both of which are in myths of the Moirie).


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Many Greek myths had connections to the myths of old cultures of the Middle East.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

[3] Archaeology has also shown close cultural borrowing from the cultures of the Middle East and Asia Minor.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

The account of the Deukalion Flood has connections to the same old Flood narrative from the Middle East, which also appears in the Gilgamesh epic and the Bible.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Iapetos's name seems to correspond to that of Noah's son Japheth.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

[57] Kybele is a clear example of Anatolian borrowing, while Aphrodite's iconography has drawn much influence from Ištar and Astarte of Semitic cultures.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Some Jungian theorists have advocated the idea that the origin of myths lies in the universal archetypes of the human mind.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Influence In Antiquity, Greek mythology greatly influenced Roman mythology.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

The Romans originally had little mythology of their own, as their gods were not personified.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Later, however, they created their own mythology in part by applying Greek myths to the Roman setting.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

[3] Many subjects of Greek mythology are known primarily through Roman versions, such as the works of Ovidius and Vergilius, as well as through imitations of early Greek artworks by Romans.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Later, especially in the Renaissance period, Greek mythology greatly influenced Western art and literature.


Question: Where is Hades said to live?

Greek mythology

Both painters, sculptors and writers drew subjects from a rich mythological catalogue in their works, which has contributed to making mythology still an enduring part of Western cultural heritage.
