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: https://www.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.
In the Amazon Basin, in the interior of Brazil, systems of ritual and belief have existed for thousands of years unknown to most Brazilians. 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. We look at the stories shared with the brothers, exploring the relationship of life, death, and ritual in a drastically changing world.00:31 Map of Peru, Brazil, and the Country of the Amazons00:47 Yawalapiti men, serra do Roncador, MT.

Aboriginal Australian cultures existed separate from the rest of the world for thousands of years.

In this podcast conversation we are joined by New Orleans native and historical cemetery/spooky tour guide Christian as we explore traditions of life and death in America's most haunted city. We explore how the blend of European, Native American, and West African cultures in New Orleans led to unique expressions of spirituality such as Voodoo and what popular culture gets wrong about it; scandals and respect in New Orleans cemeteries; and traditional ways of living in a city shaped by centuries of disaster.

The Frog Princess is a classic fairy tale that is present in many storytelling traditions, especially concentrated in the Slavic cultures of Eastern Europe. Ugliness and beauty mix in a striking tale that leads to the renewal of a kingdom, a marriage, and the hero himself. As we will see in a Russian version, the story of the Frog Princess is packed with symbolism which ties the strange world of fairy tales to our own lives.

This podcast conversation goes in-depth on the Oracle at Delphi and her influence on Western culture and Christian theology. We explore historical figures like Socrates, Xenophon, Alexander the Great, Saint Paul, and Julian the Apostate to follow the links in the chain of Western philosophy back to the Prophetess of Apollo, and the appearance of her and Pagan gods in the Bible. Many thanks to Matt Benjamin of 60 Second Philosophy for joining! Matt’s expertise on Socrates, philosophy, and theology is always appreciated.
The ancient Irish site of Newgrange is a neolithic tomb and a mythic womb. featuring at the heart of stories which have been told for thousands of years. These two stories of Newgrange, also called Brú na Bóinne, and its inhabitants, the Tuatha Dé Danann or old gods the Dagda, Boanne, Aengus, and Cáer, demonstrate the ancient Irish view of nature as cyclical, and offer us a glimpse at something more, in the times when we are closest to the mysterious Celtic Otherworld.

We interact with objects in our surroundings every day; but it's not every day that you see an umbrella sprouting legs, instruments playing themselves, or theatrical masks transform into many-faced monsters. These are examples of tsukumogami, Japanese mythical creatures that are objects come alive. In some sources they are friendly, in others they march in the infamous Night Parade of 100 Demons, and in one text they even serve as vehicle for a Buddhist teaching of enlightenment. Join as we explore the roles of tsukumogami from Classical Japan through the modern day.

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.

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.

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.

The story of Lycaon (also spelled Lykaion, Lykaon) has been told by many dating back to Ancient Greece, where it was attested in works like Pausanias' Description of Greece, Apollodorus' Library, and Hyginus' Astronomica, and across centuries and civilizations through 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.

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.

Hans Christian Andersen's original telling of The Little Mermaid is probably very different from the one you know. The mermaid's transformation is far less pleasant, there is no mention of true love's kiss, and what is she doing with that knife? A close reading and a look into the life of Hans Christian Andersen, a liminal figure caught between two societies, shows a powerful message that applies to each of us.

Many people have encountered Ireland over the millennia. 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. We see this in the oldest stories of the old Celtic gods, the Tuatha Dé Danann, including figures such as the Dagda, the Morrigan, and Lugh, and their battle against the Fomoire, the fierce anti-gods including Elatha, Bres, and Balor, the giant champion with a destructive evil eye. 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.

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! I am pleased to be joined by Matt of 60-Second Philosophy as we go deep into the ancient text.

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.
The Japanese Ministry of Forestry promotes mindful time in nature, called forest bathing, citing health benefits for those in urban environments to spend time in the natural world. This video explores the deep reverence for nature at the heart of Japanese culture, through the lens of Shinto, Japan's indigenous religion, and traditional folk tales. I spend some time in nature to try forest bathing for myself, and share the experience, results, and connections to traditional Japanese culture.
