Mythos & Logos are two ancient words that can be roughly translated as “Story & Meaning.”
I was happy to join Eilif of the Ancient World Podcast ( open.spotify.com/show/0X5Ybpqvb3NvYVTbffUIjn?si=eOFjb6IQSZ-de3qAMv0xHg ) in a conversation about symbolism in Dante's Divine Comedy. In this clip, we discussed how ancient philosophers Pythagoras & Aristotle found transcendent meaning in numbers, and how their ideas carried on through history.
