We have seen how myths of a
particular culture often reveal
societal norms. Using the
myth of Demeter & Persephone (Homeric
Hymn
to Demeter in Powell or Trzaskoma), and the myth of "The
Fire Goddess" (Leonard, 124ff), what do these myths tell us about how
these two cultures treated 'love' relationships (between
couples, between family members)? For your
conclusion answer whether there is a universal concept of 'love.'
One
of the key poles around
which Greek life was centered was the local community. In many ways the
myths which we have studied in this unit (Powell, Ch 6-9) can be looked
upon
as defining the individual's place within this local community. Discuss
with respect to men.
We
have seen that the actions and
attributes of the Greek gods and goddesses were patterned on the Greeks
themselves and serve to define the place of the Greeks within their
society. After a careful review of the myths of the Greek goddesses in
Powell, Ch 6-9,
what do these myths tell us about the
extent to which Greek women exerted
control over their lives?
