Tell me what you think about Greek mythology...?
Was this like a form of entertainment, these epics and tales about the greek gods a godesses? I've been searching online about greek mythology and it seems so unreal. Its like a soap opera.
What i would like to know from you is if you believe in this.
We're taught about it in highschool yet they don't really explain why or how the greeks and romans came up with this stuff.
Did they really believe there were gods or godesses of war, agriculture, music, medicine, etc.
I also wonder why these stories stopped, and when?. Did they lose belief or what?
This has nothing to do with todays beliefs or religions, or my opinions on religion. I'm just trying to focus on and try to understand this stuff.
Well, first I have to say (and it might be a little uncomfortable, but trust me here)--you need to know some Greek history. Folklore doesn't always make much sense out of context. So if you know more about their culture and society, it might help you understand the myths more.
That said, I adore Greek mythology. I took hours and hours of Greek history and Ancient Greek and Greek religion and culture classes. The myths are really profound if you get down in them. It's sorta like Shakespeare--for the first few lines or so, it's totally unintelligible and seems like it has nothing to do with modern life. But once you get into it, it's beautiful and lyrical and really profound. Try not to take it too literally--look at it from a literary criticism point of view. Look at the metaphors (find them first, then study them.) Look at the characters--what do they really represent? Why do they do the things they do? They're there to teach you lessons--so pick them apart until a lesson starts to formulate in your head. I could study Greek stuff allll day. The mythology was a mix of comic book superheroes, ancestor stories, worship, hero tales, and bizarre explanations for the cosmos. The deities were personified ideas--not all of them were religious, though. There were atheists, too (like some major philosophers.) The Christians have their Bible, the Muslims have their Quran, Jews have the first part of the Bible, Hindus have Vedas--Greek religion and entertainment got all wrapped up together in their mythology.
Oh, and Greek legends are still around. You're reading them, right? They're still relevant. As to why they didn't continue their ancient religion, well, blame it on the Romans. Romans used religion mainly for social control and to unify a bunch of people in the empire who didn't have much in common. If everybody worships the emperor as a god, then at least they're not going to a million different churches and therefore, ignoring their duty to the government. Plus, Greek society got insufferably stuffy and boring over time and the wild rituals and mystery cults and pilgrimages kinda shut down. Some of the tamer aspects of Greek paganism made it into Greek Orthodox Christianity, but most of it just faded out under the strict moral standards of strict Christians. Party poopers.
Mesoamerica is a geographical and cultural area which extends from Mexico through Central America. Many of Mexico's' Obsolete and Ancient Civilizations include the Olmec, Toltec, Maya and Aztec. All developed in what is known today as Mesoamerica. Mesoamerican civilizations had many traits in common such as their writing system, calendar and ballgames. They also shared the same style of architecture and they shared their agricultural concepts which consisted mostly of beans, corn, and squash. These Mexican Obsolete Civilizations, developed complex societies that reached high levels of technological evolution and construction.
Mesoamerica and its' history are separated into three grand periods. The pre-classic period from 1500 B.C. to 200 A.D, the classic period from 200 A.D. to 900 A.D. and the post-classic period from 900 A.D. to the early 1800's.
The Olmec civilization developed in ancient Mexico along the Gulf Coast. This group is sometimes referred to as the "mother culture" of Mesoamerica. It was the first group to develop dependable cultural traits that were later adopted and developed by other cultures. The Olmec were a sophisticated Central American culture with its prime days between 1200 and 400 B.C. The earliest sites of the Olmec show simple egalitarian societies based on hunting and fishing. They eventually established a highly complex level of political government. The Olmec also developed a complex architectural system including the building of pyramids with large platform mounds, also agriculture, a writing system and sculptural artistry including huge stone heads with heavy features evocative of angry babies.
The Mayan culture began to develop in the pre-classic period, around 1000 B.C and stayed in existence until about 900 A.D. They Mayan are well known for their writings and for their advanced mathematics, astronomy and calindrical calculations. They were extremely diverse, largely due to the range of environmental and geographic conditions in which it developed.
The Maya devised a complicated system of writing which was largely deciphered in the 1980's. Before this many archaeologists believed that Mayan writings dealt only with calendrical and astronomical themes. Many modern day historians had the concept that the Mayas were peaceful and studious stargazers but it has been recently discovered that they also interested in earthly matters as the other Mesoamerican groups.
The Toltec Civilization was one of three great empires after the fall of Teotihuacan and before the rise of the Aztecs. The classic period of the Toltec Civilization was about 900 A.D. to 1200 A.D. The Toltec controlled most of Central Mexico, Yucatan Peninsula, Gulf Coast and Pacific Coast. They were known for their established trade connections with people as far away as what are now the Mexican states of Zacatecas, Veracruz and Puebla. Their dynasty of power ranged through all of Mesoamerica into the Aztec Empire.
Probably the best know of Mexico's' Obsolete Civilizations are the Aztec. Aztec is the collective name given to seven Chichimec Tribes of Northern Mexico who controlled the valley of Mexico and much of Central America from the 12 century A.D. until the Spanish invasion of the 15th century. They dominated most of Mexico between 1430 and 1521 A.D. Their empire covered all of what is known as today's' Mexico. The Aztecs had a high level of government which included rulers and a noble class and a commoner class. Is was said by the Spanish clergy that the Aztecs had frequent ritual human sacrifices and there was even mention of cannibalism, although it is likely that some of these tales are exaggerated.
An Aztec Civilization Study Guide has been developed with boundless details of lifestyles of the Aztecs and other Mexican civilizations such as the Toltec, Maya and Olmec.
