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

Greek mythology

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


Question: How old has the universe been estimated?

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: How old has the universe been estimated?

Greek mythology

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


Question: How old has the universe been estimated?

Greek mythology

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


Question: How old has the universe been estimated?

Greek mythology

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


Question: How old has the universe been estimated?

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: How old has the universe been estimated?

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: How old has the universe been estimated?

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: How old has the universe been estimated?

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: How old has the universe been estimated?

Greek mythology

He wanted to ban such performances at festivities and poetry competitions.


Question: How old has the universe been estimated?

Greek mythology

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


Question: How old has the universe been estimated?

Greek mythology

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


Question: How old has the universe been estimated?

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: How old has the universe been estimated?

Greek mythology

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


Question: How old has the universe been estimated?

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: How old has the universe been estimated?

Greek mythology

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


Question: How old has the universe been estimated?

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: How old has the universe been estimated?

Greek mythology

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


Question: How old has the universe been estimated?

Greek mythology

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


Question: How old has the universe been estimated?

Greek mythology

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


Question: How old has the universe been estimated?

Greek mythology

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


Question: How old has the universe been estimated?

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: How old has the universe been estimated?

Greek mythology

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


Question: How old has the universe been estimated?

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: How old has the universe been estimated?

Greek mythology

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


Question: How old has the universe been estimated?

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: How old has the universe been estimated?

Greek mythology

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


Question: How old has the universe been estimated?

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: How old has the universe been estimated?

Greek mythology

Significant cities often play a central role in the narratives.


Question: How old has the universe been estimated?

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: How old has the universe been estimated?

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: How old has the universe been estimated?

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: How old has the universe been estimated?

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: How old has the universe been estimated?

Greek mythology

An example is the story of the Trojan War.


Question: How old has the universe been estimated?

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: How old has the universe been estimated?

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: How old has the universe been estimated?

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: How old has the universe been estimated?

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: How old has the universe been estimated?

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: How old has the universe been estimated?

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: How old has the universe been estimated?

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: How old has the universe been estimated?

Greek mythology

These might inform historical events in some form.


Question: How old has the universe been estimated?

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: How old has the universe been estimated?

Greek mythology

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


Question: How old has the universe been estimated?

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: How old has the universe been estimated?

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: How old has the universe been estimated?

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: How old has the universe been estimated?

Greek mythology

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


Question: How old has the universe been estimated?

Greek mythology

pharaoh), not a personal name.


Question: How old has the universe been estimated?

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: How old has the universe been estimated?

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: How old has the universe been estimated?

Greek mythology

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


Question: How old has the universe been estimated?

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: How old has the universe been estimated?

Greek mythology

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


Question: How old has the universe been estimated?

Greek mythology

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


Question: How old has the universe been estimated?

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: How old has the universe been estimated?

Greek mythology

This is called euhemerism.


Question: How old has the universe been estimated?

Greek mythology

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


Question: How old has the universe been estimated?

Greek mythology

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


Question: How old has the universe been estimated?

Question: How old has the universe been estimated?

Greek mythology

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


Question: How old has the universe been estimated?

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: How old has the universe been estimated?

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: How old has the universe been estimated?

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: How old has the universe been estimated?

Greek mythology

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


Question: How old has the universe been estimated?

Greek mythology

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


Question: How old has the universe been estimated?

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: How old has the universe been estimated?

Greek mythology

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


Question: How old has the universe been estimated?

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: How old has the universe been estimated?

Greek mythology

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


Question: How old has the universe been estimated?

Greek mythology

Influence In Antiquity, Greek mythology greatly influenced Roman mythology.


Question: How old has the universe been estimated?

Greek mythology

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


Question: How old has the universe been estimated?

Greek mythology

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


Question: How old has the universe been estimated?
