I have a deep passion for mythology and I'm more comfortable with the Greek and roman ones but I also know something about the Norse and the Celtic mythologies.
A myth is, I think, a form of explaining how the world is now and how humans can act in the most absurd situations. Greeks used myths to explain natural phenomena, cultural variations,
traditional enmities and friendships
If I had to pick just one myth that really moves me, that would be really hard but I would chose the Pandora's myth.
She was the first woman created and she got gifts from all gods (never forget that she was made to punish mankind for Prometheus theft of fire), kept inside the "Pandora's box" with the advice of never open it. Out of curiosity, Pandora opened the "box" and the evils of mankind were released.Scared, she closed the "box" leaving only Hope inside.
In every myth there's a truth beneath.
Today, I leave you with two songs:
Sara Ramirez (Callie from Grey's Anatomy) singing Brandi Carlile's "The Story"
Xiah Sunju (DBSK) singing "You are so beautiful"
"Do poepket
ssumnida"
