Golden Age and Decay in Mythology: Hopeful Living in a Broken World (Hesiod, Ovid, Plato) Mythos & Logos 2025-09-02 | While we often look to the past for an example of a better world, our counterparts living in the ancient world did the same, viewing even their time as a fallen one, ruled by greed. Greek and Roman authors such as Hesiod and Ovid detailed the decay of the world from original perfection in the myth of the Golden, Silver, Bronze, and Iron Ages, and the philosophy of Plato, in his Statesman dialogue, leans upon the myth of the ages in its metaphysics. If we seek to understand the myth of the ages through mythology and philosophy, we find practical advice for hopeful living in our own lives, even in a world that feels fallen and broken.Mythos & Logos are two ancient words that can be roughly translated as “Story & Meaning.”Support the channel by subscribing, liking, and commenting to join the conversation!Patreon: patreon.com/c/mythosandlogos00:00 Introduction00:12 Roman Mosaic Depicting Anaximander with Sundial00:20 Hesiod’s Works and Days from Biblioteca Marciana00:55 The Creation by James Tissot01:16 The First Transformation01:32 Ovid’s Metamorphoses from the European Library of Information and Culture02:00 Ovid, Metamorphoses, Book I03:13 Booroobin Sunshine Coast Australia by Jordan Condon, licensed under Creative Commons03:31 Star Map by Elizabeth Shurtleff03:40 The Golden Age04:01 The Golden Age by Lucas Cranach the Elder04:15 The Golden Age by Frans Francken the Younger et. al.04:26 Spring by Jean-Jacques Le Veau after Charles Dominique Joseph Eisen04:50 Funerary Stele of Demokleides, photographed by Furius, licensed under Creative Commons04:54 Hesiod, Works and Days05:11 Nothing Gold Can Stay05:15 Titan Struck by Lightning by François Dumont05:36 Winter by Jean-Jacques Le Veau after Charles Dominique Joseph Eisen05:50 Agricultural Calendar by Master of the Geneva Boccaccio08:58 Title Page to 1539 Edition of Hesiod’s Works and Days06:20 The Souls of Acheron by Adolf Hirémy-Hirschl06:34 Achilles’ Sacrifice of Trojan Prisoners from the François Tomb07:09 The Iron Age by Jan Collaert II et. al.07:22 The Iron Age by Jean-Jacques Le Veau after Charles Dominique Joseph Eisen07:32 The Age of Iron by Paolo Fiammingo07:40 Illustration from Griffith’s Guide to the Iron Trade of Great Britain07:59 The Close of the Silver Age by Lucas Cranach the Elder08:19 Justice by Raphael08:26 Truth at the Bottom of a Well by Jean-Léon Gérome09:06 The Changing Ages09:16 Two Young Men Hunting a Deer by the Dokimasia Painter09:26 Artemis Kaurotrophos from Archaeological Museum of Brauron09:40 Page of the Codex Oxoniensis Clarkianus 39, Dialogue Politikos10:16 Saturnus by Jan Van Vianen10:28 Jupiter on his Eagle Enthroned in the Clouds by Stradanus10:55 The Age of Bronze by Paolo Fiammingo11:42 The Course of Empire by Thomas Cole12:18 The Golden Age by Hendrick van der Borcht the Elder12:36 The Stars Above12:58 The Golden Age by Abraham Bloemaert13:22 The Age of Gold by Jacopo Zucchi13:38 Booroobin Sunshine Coast Australia photographed by Jordan Condon, licensed under Creative Commons13:55 Astronomy Amateur by Halfblue, licensed under Creative Commons14:29 The Age of Gold by José Manuel Félix Magdalena, licensed under Creative CommonsAll works of art are in the public domain unless otherwise noted.Ambiment - The Ambient by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license.

When the Villas-Bôas brothers established contact with the people of the Xingú less than 100 years ago, they became advocates for the indigenous people to the Brazilian government and society for the culture's preservation.

Daughter of the Sun: Cosmic Connections & Practical Lessons in Cherokee Mythology Mythos & Logos 2024-04-06 | The Sun is a major figure in Cherokee mythology; the world depends upon her light and warmth, but is at the mercy of her brutal heat when she is slighted by her brother, the Moon. In this story, recorded from the Eastern Band of Cherokee in the late 19th century, a plan to stop the Sun from burning the world leads to the death of her daughter, and a plan to bring her back from the Ghost Country. Common characters to Native American mythology including the Great Horned Serpent appear in a tale with strong connections to the natural world and Cherokee history.Mythos & Logos are two ancient words that can be roughly translated as “Story & Meaning.”Support the channel by subscribing, liking, and commenting to join the conversation!Support the channel financially through your generous Patreon donation: patreon.com/mythosandlogosThis channel is a collection of thoughts of one person on the important stories that we humans have shared with each other.

The Philosopher Poet & the Mythic Peng Bird: Expressing the Unknown in Zhuangzi (Taoist Philosophy) Mythos & Logos 2024-02-17 | A philosopher has the unique challenge of expressing that which is beyond us through the limitations of language. For many, this is done through a series of logical arguments; for the Taoist philosopher Zhuangzi 莊子 the Way of Nature, called Tao 道 is best approached in another way, through the powerful, poetic language of metaphor. Zhuangzi sets the tone through the marvelous image of the mythological Peng 大鵬 bird which rises beyond the limits of our understanding. Yet, we will see, even the lofty Peng can affect our lives.Transcript: https://ancientworld.website/b/mythosandlogos/view_post.php?id=7Mythos & Logos are two ancient words that can be roughly translated as “Story & Meaning.”Support the channel by subscribing, liking, and commenting to join the conversation!Support the channel financially through your generous Patreon donation: patreon.com/mythosandlogosThis channel is a collection of thoughts of one person on the important stories that we humans have shared with each other.

Fall of Phaeton & the Chariot of the Sun: Harnessing the Powers of the Gods (Greek Mythology) Mythos & Logos 2024-01-07 | In the ancient days of Greek and Roman mythology, the story was told of Phaeton, the son of the sun god Helios (often equivocated with Apollo) who asked his father to command the chariot of the sun on its journey across the sky. The power of the god was too much for this mortal, and his bold attempt to wield it nearly destroyed all of creation. Today we wield many of the same powers once attributed to the gods, and we must listen to ancient wisdom to avoid repeating Phaeton's disastrous mistake.Transcript: https://ancientworld.website/b/mythosandlogos/view_post.php?id=3Mythos & Logos are two ancient words that can be roughly translated as “Story & Meaning.”Support the channel by subscribing, liking, and commenting to join the conversation!Support the channel financially through your generous Patreon donation: patreon.com/mythosandlogosThis channel is a collection of thoughts of one person on the important stories that we humans have shared with each other.

Lycaon & Zeus: Origin of Werewolves in Greek Mythology & Ovids Metamorphoses Mythos & Logos 2023-10-29 | The story of Lycaon (also spelled Lykaion, Lykaon) has been told by many dating back to folklore in Ancient Greece, where it was attested in works like Pausanias' Description of Greece, Apollodorus' Library, and Hyginus' Astronomica, and across centuries and civilizations through mythology, folktales, and works like Ovid's masterpiece Metamorphoses. Lycaon's attempt to deceive the gods leads to a terrifying transformation, which many have described as the oldest depiction of a werewolf, wolf-man, or lycanthrope.The story of Lycaon, his test of the god Zeus, and his transformation as punishment is not just a great scary story; it provides insight into Ancient Greek customs of morality such hubris and as hospitality (Xenia.) Like the best of gothic and modern horror, the story of Lycaon explores the fine line between man and monster.All revenue for the month following the release of this video will be donated to SAFE Project US, supporting recovery for those struggling with addiction.Transcript: https://ancientworld.website/b/mythosandlogos/view_post.php?id=5Mythos & Logos are two ancient words that can be roughly translated as “Story & Meaning.”Support the channel by subscribing, liking, and commenting to join the conversation!Support the channel financially through your generous Patreon donation: patreon.com/mythosandlogosCline, Austin.

Nature & Mysticism in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam Mythos & Logos 2023-09-24 | Spiritual seekers from across religious traditions have had profound experiences within the natural world. Comparing the role of nature in selected Jewish, Christian, and Muslim teachings demonstrates the harmonious role that nature serves in the Abrahamic religions. Jesus' parables of the sower and the fig trees in the Gospels show how we can be inspired by the natural world to change ourselves; te Jewish principle of bal tashchit demonstrates how nature informs ethics; and the Quran's invitations to discernment along with the writings of Sufi mystic poets such as Ibn 'Arabi and Rumi show how the visible world can inform us of the transcendent.Transcript: https://ancientworld.website/b/mythosandlogos/view_post.php?id=6Mythos & Logos are two ancient words that can be roughly translated as “Story & Meaning.”Support the channel by subscribing, liking, and commenting to join the conversation!Patreon: patreon.com/mythosandlogosEvery Person is a Tree by Jeffrey Spitzer from My Jewish Learning: myjewishlearning.com/article/every-person-is-a-treeKabbalah and Ecology by Rabbi David Mevorach Seidenberg: cambridge.org/core/books/kabbalah-and-ecology/6277318C3923022225F6A89551E7432CDivine Love: Roots and Manifestations by Dr. Muhammad Suheyl Umar: https://jsr.shanti.virginia.edu/back-issues/vol-3-no-2-august-2003-healing-words-the-song-of-songs-and-the-path-of-love/divine-love-roots-and-manifestations/The purpose of this channel is to share the important stories at the foundation of human cultures throughout history.

Beyond the Surface: Psychology in Hans Christian Andersen’s Little Mermaid Fairy Tale Mythos & Logos 2023-08-06 | Hans Christian Andersen's original telling of The Little Mermaid is probably very different from the one you know.

The Emerald Isle has hosted scholars and poets, as well as fierce warriors and mighty High Kings. All have been touched by the land differently, and no one has left the same.

Cath Maige Tuired (Mag Tuired or Moytura) details from the mysterious arrival of the gods in Ireland to their battle with the Fomorians, and gives us glances into ancient Irish culture and spirituality through its depictions of war and peace.Mythos & Logos are two ancient words that can be roughly translated as “Story & Meaning.”Support the channel by subscribing, liking, and commenting to join the conversation!Patreon: patreon.com/mythosandlogosThe purpose of this channel is to share the important stories at the foundation of human cultures throughout history.

Philosophy, Mythology, and Meaning in Platos Gorgias: A Deep Dive into Ancient Wisdom w/@60SPH Mythos & Logos 2023-03-09 | An in-depth podcast conversation exploring philosophy, mythology, rhetoric, justice, the Ancient Greek afterlife, and more! Plato's Gorgias is not one of his most famous dialogues, but is one of the most mysterious and thought-provoking, as Socrates discusses virtue with some of Classical Athens' most prolific thinkers. The dialogue ends with a fantastic account of the last judgement, in which Socrates ponders the nature of the eternal soul.So, naturally, it took a philosopher and a mythographer teaming up to discuss it!

Together.60 Second Philosophy is a series of short, interrelated videos designed to teach you big ideas in a small amount of time! We watch year after year of college students go through introduction to philosophy courses and come out confused and disenchanted. This is largely because professors rarely teach the subject with any life or vigor, even more rarely do they show philosophy as a study which is applicable to life.We believe that philosophy is an integral part of our world, and that the study of philosophy is incredibly useful in daily life. Our approach is to offer information in short, accessible videos which allow viewers to only learn about that which interests them. These videos create paths which viewers can easily follow and, if they choose, cover vast tracts of the western philosophical tradition in a very short time.Timestamps:00:00 Introduction00:50 Rhetoric and Justice04:02 Virtue and the Good Life06:21 The Form of the Good07:13 Worldly Pleasures09:04 Branches of Greek Philosophy11:37 Justice in Society13:20 Socrates on Suffering17:31 Historical Parallels of Greek Mythology19:35 The Afterlife in Greek Mythology21:04 The Last Judgement22:22 Symbolism of Clothing and the Body25:44 Responsibilities of Rulers27:27 Power, Corruption, and Narcissism28:30 The Common Man30:37 Irredeemable and Redemptive Suffering34:18 The Afterlife in Ancient Greek Religion35:48 Prescription for the Good Life40:32 The Role of Myth in Philosophy42:46 Socrates' Beliefs46:21 Closing RemarksAll works of art used are in the public domain.Thumbnail image generated by artificial intelligence through DALLE 2 and not subject to copyright.

The Saint on a Fallen Angels Throne: A Mystic Vision of Francis of Assisi Mythos & Logos 2022-01-09 | Pride appears across Biblical stories as one of the most dangerous sins; even angels are not immune. Likewise in our world pride can lead us into a tunnel vision, blind to others. One morning in Medieval Italy, a young man named Francis would take an act of humility that would change himself, his community, and his culture forever. This change lives in each of us; beautifully, mystically illustrated by one monk's vision of a fallen angel's empty throne, and the humble sinner who sits in its place.Mythos & Logos are two ancient words that can be roughly translated as “Story & Meaning.”Support the channel by subscribing, liking, and commenting to join the conversation!Patreon: patreon.com/mythosandlogosThe purpose of this channel is to share the important stories at the foundation of human cultures throughout history.

One Old Norse story, The Saga of the Volsungs, features themes of power, corruption, and transformation using a symbolic language that will be well familiar to fans of works like JRR Tolkien's Lord of the Rings.Mythos & Logos are two ancient words that can be roughly translated as “Story & Meaning.”Support the channel by subscribing, liking, and commenting to join the conversation!Patreon: patreon.com/mythosandlogosThe purpose of this channel is to share the important stories at the foundation of human cultures throughout history.
