Greek Mythology

Greek Mythology

Greek mythology lives! The pantheon of gods and goddesses in Greek mythology are still a living part of our culture today. When a handsome young man is referred to as an Adonis, or a strong one as Hercules, we're referencing the ancient Greeks. When we speak of Pandora's box or name a submarine the Poseidon, we keep these myths alive.

Greek mythology is full of wonderful stories. The gods and goddesses have very human characteristics. They get jealous and angry and spiteful. They interfere in the affairs of mortals to help one of their favorites. They offer their aid and protection to those in need.

But myths were more than simply entertainment. They offered believers a way of understanding the world. The myth of Apollo driving a golden chariot across the sky was a way to understand the movement of the sun.

Many myths, for instance, refer to the cycle of the seasons. When Persephone was kidnapped by Hades and taken underground, her mother Demeter grieved, and crops perished. When Persephone was returned, spring brought new life. 

Today, these archetypes from Greek mythology are no longer needed to explain natural phenomena. They do, however, give us insight into our own psyches--a word derived from the name of the Greek goddess Psyche.

At the Goddess Path, we have developed a scientifically-based quiz that helps you understand your personality by using reference to the archetypes and goddesses we know. A woman who identifies most closely with the goddess Hestia will have very different strengths and weaknesses than one who is an Athenian type. And knowledge about your strengths and weaknesses is a valuable tool toward building a happy and authentic life.
