3 Cornell Notes:

4 Your Name Honors English 9 Mr. Bernstein 14 March 2011 Hellenic Nature Nymph/Naiads Proteus/Triton The Forest synonym for Greek Mythology contains stories about people who had a strong connection with nature A female spirit usually retained for service by a god or goddess The sons of Poseidon, god of the sea Horrible things happened in the forest – Magic & Human Sacrifice. Pain and evil were a part of every story. The opening section of Introduction to Classical Mythology introduces a few terms relevant to Greek Mythology, but mainly informs readers that by reading these stories, we can gain an understanding of what life was like thousands of years ago.

5 Primitive, savage, ugly at times
Your Name Honors English 9 Mr. Bernstein 14 March 2011 Mythology of Greeks The Greek Miracle Human Gods Primitive, savage, ugly at times Don’t really shed light on what life was like It does show things about ourselves (intellect, politics, art); we are their decedents A new birth or awakening of Greece (out with the old & in with the new) Why & When? No idea Mankind – center of the universe Made gods in their own image “invisible must be understood by visible” Still feared – very powerful & dangerous when angry Laughter is okay Exceedingly humanly attractive – some heroes of the stories behaved better than the gods/goddesses at times Humans didn’t have terror or fear of gods; they weren’t supernatural. There weren’t ghosts, but sometimes there were beast gods or mythical monsters

6 Mythology had nothing to do with religion
Your Name Honors English 9 Mr. Bernstein 14 March 2011 Religion Science Writers Mythology had nothing to do with religion It was created as an attempt to explain nature (how things came to be; human existence) Some religion in background Myths were early form of science, literature, and entertainment. It established right & wrong for themselves, but not the gods Justice was an important theme Many writers contributed to Greek & Roman mythology including Ovid, Hesiod, Homer, Pindar, Aeschylus, and others This section of Introduction to Classical Mythology reviewed why Greek Mythology is applicable to contemporary readers and also discussed the “new birth” or awakening of Greece that spurred mythology. We learned how Greek gods were exceedingly human and regularly interacted with mortals. The sections also mentions how there isn’t a lot of religious relevance to the gods and mythology. Instead, we learned that they were created as an early form of science in order to explain how things came into existence. Lastly, the reading mentions some important Greek and Roman writers that contributed to our understanding.
