Eight Lectures on Mythology

About This Novel

Greek mythology has been circulating for nearly three thousand years since its creation. Its rich storylines and plump characters have always provided inexhaustible nutrients for world literature; and the Greek spirit behind it is regarded by many thinkers and philosophers as the pinnacle of Western civilization. The first half of the book starts from the origin of Greek mythology to the current film and television adaptation of mythology, tracing back to the origin, evolution and modernization. When interpreting mythological themes, one might start with the city-state system to reveal the values ​​of the ancient Greeks; or one might compare it with Hebrew civilization to highlight the humanistic spirit of ancient Greece. With the revival of humanism in modern times, various disciplines (philosophy, psychology, literature) have also briefly summarized the interpretation and application of myths. Finally, combined with modern thoughts, there are also comments on movies adapted from Greek mythology. The second half of the book is a biography of mythical characters compiled by the author.
