Extractions: A Series of Studies in European Mythology Part 1 - Is There a Practical Meaning to Mythology? by Odisej Belchevsky November, 2003 The information contained in this article is not of mythical or imagined content but is very real, which the reader should find exciting and interesting. In this article I will take the reader through a fresh new look at classical mythology and bring out alternative meanings of the identities of Demeter, Saturn, Pluto/Hades and Zemele. An inquiring mind may ask the following questions: How is it that for the last 200 years European scholars have been able to attribute mathematics, physics, astronomy, government, military strategies, natural principles and even the understanding of human behavior to the ancient people of southern Europe and the Mediterranean yet when it comes to interpreting mythological figures they could only manage to provide imaginary, unrealistic, impractical, hard to understand and confusing explanations? I will begin my interpretation by providing the reader with a foundation for understanding the process by which the ancient Europeans created what we today call Classical Mythology. I will then show how the ancient Europeans used practical methods for naming their deities and each name such as Demeter, Pluto, Hades, Zemele, etc., had a special meaning for them which, when interpreted properly, makes sense even today.

Extractions: page: The Greco-Roman myths concerning same-sex love have been of crucial importance to the Western gay and lesbian literary heritage, both as texts and as icons. Myth and literature are deeply interdependent and often indistinguishable. Being, in essence, the traditional tales told about gods and about human or semidivine heroes, myths generally take a narrative though sometimes a dramatic form. Usually they are first recorded in poetry, as Homer and Hesiod demonstrate with respect to the classical mythology that is to be focused on here. Sponsor Message. Myth as Literature and Literature as Myth The Iliad and Odyssey , from the eighth century, and Theogony , from around 700 B.C.E., are our prime and richest sources of the Greek myths, but the poems are themselves mythic, that is, they belong equally in the fields of the mythologist and of the literary scholar. Aristotle ranks plotor muthos , the source of our word myth as the first element of tragedy and epic.

We shall, however, move beyond mere narrative to consider the possible interpretations of these myths. Ancient Greeks retold their myths in many contexts; in song, in dramatic performance, in written literature, and in plastic arts such as sculpture and ceramic design. The myths can be seen to rehearse the central concerns of ancient Greek culture, and as such they can give us a greater understanding of a society which is very different from ours but which has often been influential in the evolution of the West. Because of the similarities and differences between our culture and those of the ancient Mediterranean, the study of these cultures can give us further insights into the workings of our own society. Later Western art and literature, for instance, have frequently reworked ancient myths in ways that can illumine both ancient and contemporary culture. Responsibilities in the course Students are responsible for attending all classes and for all assigned readings. Lectures will cover the readings but will on occasion include other material; students will also be responsible for this additional material. Although the chief method of instruction in this class will be the lecture, questions and discussion are welcomed. Regular quizzes will test your mastery of readings and lecture material.
Eurydice In Classical Mythology
The women eventually fell upon him and tore him to pieces. From Women of classical mythology A Biographical Dictionary. Copyright © 1991 by Robert E. Bell
http://www.english.uiuc.edu/maps/poets/g_l/hd/myth.htm

Extractions: Eurydice in Classical Myth From O rpheus was the son of Apollo and the Muse Calliope. He was presented by his father with a lyre and taught to play upon it, which he did to such perfection that nothing could withstand the charm of his music. Not only his fellow-mortals, but wild beasts were softened by his strains, and gathering round him laid by their fierceness, and stood entranced with his lay. Nay, the very trees and rocks were sensible to the charm. The former crowded round him and the latter relaxed somewhat of their hardness, softened by his notes. Robert E. Bell E urydice was a nymph who was married to the poet Orpheus, son of Oeagrus and Calliope. She was sometimes called Agriope. She and Orpheus were very happy and well adjusted to the savage surroundings of Thessaly, where they had settled. Once, Eurydice was pursued by the god Aristacus, who tried to rape her. In her efforts to elude him she stepped on a poisonous serpent, which bit her. She died and was within hours transported from a blissful state to the gloomy caverns of Hades. Orpheus was disconsolate and went in search of her. He entered the underworld from Thesprotia, and whenever he found his way blocked he played his lyre and sang plaintive songs that suspended activity and opened doors to him. He charmed Charon, the ferryman; Cerberus; the judges of the dead; and even Persephone. He finally was granted his Prayer, and the infernal deities told him to walk back to the upper world and that Eurydice would follow him. On no condition, however, must he look behind him until both had fully gained the sunny upper reaches. Everything went well for a while, but Orpheus began to have doubts that Eurydice really was behind him, or perhaps he heard threatening noises. Finally he looked behind him, and Eurydice instantly vanished. This time nothing could move the stony hearts of the guardians of the shades. Orpheus was even barred from entering, and the implacable infernal spirits were impervious to his lyre.
The Minotaur In Classical Mythology
In the Greek and Latin Classical myth, the Minotaur was not the subject of an autonomous literary theme. It was either the monster slain by Theseus or
http://www.english.uiuc.edu/maps/poets/m_r/rukeyser/minotaur.htm

Extractions: The Minotaur in Classical Myth from T he Athenians were at that time in deep affliction, on account of the tribute which they were forced to pay to Minos, king of Crete. This tribute consisted of seven youths and seven maidens, who were sent every year to be devoured by the Minotaur, a monster with a bull's body and a human head. It was exceedingly strong and fierce, and was kept in a labyrinth constructed by Dædalus, so artfully contrived that whoever was enclosed in it could by no means fid his way out unassisted. Here the Minotaur roamed, and was fed with human victims. On approaching the coast of Attica, Theseus forgot the signal appointed by his father, and neglected to raise the white sails, and the old king, thinking his son had perished, put an end to his own life. Theseus thus became king of Athens. Andre- Peyronie The monstrous nature of the Minotaur derives from the way in which it was conceived. In this respect, the story of its origins is as important as its own story. Its life was in fact singularly devoid of incident. Imprisoned in the labyrinth, it was as if the tribute paid by the Athenians provided a periodic source of distraction and food. The story of the Minotaur is inextricably linked with that of the labyrinth the maze that was constructed for the creature, that was doomed to disappear with it and in which it waited. Without knowing it, the Minotaur was waiting to be slain by Theseus. This was the only event of its life. Excerpted from a longer essay in
