| Summary: | To the Greeks, their gods and heroes were the encounter with the divine as well as true history. By means of myths, the Greeks stamped with authenticity their names, their land, their customs, their very existence. Thus the myths remain an open window through which we can look upon our forefathers and the ways they imagined themselves. Their stories reflect a nuanced morality that integrated same-sex love with spiritual teachings. By turn heroic, cautionary or shamanic, they always maintain the dignified cadence of ancient epic. The myths proclaim that self-indulgence, betrayal and violence are to be despised, and that love is the highest good. |
