Crash Course Mythology Crash Course 1 Most myths are very old and have multiple different versions, so no story is really "wrong" Each myth can be interpreted differently, so everyone understands it differently so nothing is a fact or truth, they're all stories. Myths have been written about since the 6th century BC Myth comes from the greek word mythos, which means story Myths must have significance and staying power, which is how they survive centuries and are passed down. they need to be relevant and interesting.  There is a difference between folklore and myths The story of Persephone explains why we have the different seasons, many myths explain origins of worldly events  Crash Course 12 Mythology is the systematic study of myths, and myths are studied by Some people, including Plato, regarded myths as just lying Euhemerism is interpreting myths as primitive explanations of the natural world or as time distorted accounts of long past historical even...

More Character analysis Teiresias I actually am familiar with his character, as I was in an Oedipus play with Teiresias as a main character seems very stereotypical wise old man figure, carries a staff, kind of weird that he drinks sword blood but he's dead so I don't know just like every other character, he gives odysseus a long monologue about what he is going to do in order to return home gives them a warning about staying out of trouble or they'll probably die Anticleia Odysseus's dead mother, seems very devoid of personality and just sad to be dead she is just like any mother, she asks her son a ton of questions about where he's been and where he is going Various women in the underworld Tyro, a queen who Poseidon seduced while pretending to be someone else, described as noble, has many children and lived a solid life Antiope, slept with Zeus and had two successful sons Alcmene, who had Heracles Megara (I know her from Hercules lol) who m...
