Aphrodite in Art Aphrodite in Myth Art Themes home greek Greek Mythology The sources for ancient Greek myth are myriad. Indeed, references to myth range from those written by contemporary Greek historians and authors; to poems composed in honor of the gods and goddesses; to plays (comedies, tragedies, and so-called satyr plays) meant to dramatize man's relationships with the divine (and sometimes man's aspirations to be divine...); to works of art created to represent a particular deity, hero, or mythical creature. Truly, to compile a complete list of ancient sources is far beyond the resources of most individuals. However, the alternative is probably more useful, in that a description of the major characters of Greek myth has the distinction of being accessible.

62. Gay Greek Mythology - The World History Of Male Love The gay Greek myths, illustrated with period art from ancient Greece and Rome. http://www.androphile.org/preview/Library/Mythology/Greek/

Gay Greek Mythology The Many Loves of Hercules Hercules and Hylas Zeus and Ganymede Poseidon and Pelops ... Laius and Chrysippus Male couples, in the gay Greek myths, usually consist of a god in the role of the adult lover, and a hero in the role of the adolescent boy beloved. Children, even mythical ones, were not involved, as the Greeks frowned upon sexual relationships with little boys. In actual practice the most prized boys were well into adolescence and would be of legal age in many countries today. The gay myths here, like Greek male love in general, are not principally about sex. They are first of all about friendship and love as reflected in conflicts about trust and betrayal, pride and humility, and right and wrong. It's also problematic to say that the myths are about "gay" love. Greek homosexuality is more complex and the Greeks would not have thought of themselves as gay. On one hand, sex between adult men was frowned upon (which proves that it existed). On the other, most men and boys who fell in love with each other would later go on to marriage and children. Accordingly, mythical Greek homosexuality defies the modern fashion of gay and straight. In another departure from modern gay culture, penetration in ancient Greece was badly seen. Men who penetrated their boyfriends were regarded as uncultured and abusive. Those that were themselves penetrated became the object of ridicule. When couples made love, they were expected to make love between the thighs. And that is how the gods are depicted.

Greek Mythology Myths Concerning Aia [6] Aia was a kingdom located in the southeastern corner of the Black Sea. References to it appear in the myths of "Phrixus and the Ram", "Jason and the Argonauts", and Circe, in book ten of the Odyssey Several generations of Greek heroes had dealings with Aia and Aeetes. First was Phrixus, who was brought to Aia by air on the [7] back of a divine talking ram with golden fleece. Upon arriving in Aia, Phrixus sacrificed the ram and hung its radiant fleece on a mighty oak tree in a grove sacred to the god Ares. The spirit of the ram flew into the firmament becoming the constellation Aries (the Ram). Phrixus was welcomed by Aeetes, married his daughter, Chalciope, and fathered several children. There are different accounts of Phrixus' end. Some have him die in Aia in deep old age, others have him murdered by Aeetes (18). Aia, Aeetes, and his family appear again in the well known story of Jason and the Argonauts, one of the oldest of Greek myths. Although the most complete account appears in a relatively late work of Apollonius of Rhodes, the Argonautica (third century B.C.), the story already was in circulation at the time Homer wrote (eighth century B.C.), since he alludes to it as if universally familiar (19). In this myth, Jason, accompanied by the most celebrated heroes of classical Greece, traveled by ship from Thessaly to Aia. The purpose of the trip was a seemingly impossible task: to return with the Golden Fleece left in Aia by Phrixus. Jason determined first to simply ask Aeetes for the Fleece; if denied, he then would steal it.

Xena also was inspired from the Greek world, so due to that, the following Amazons discussed are only from Greek myth. I also refer to Hercules as Herakles, because Herakles was his Greek name.

Gerhard Poellauer, and readers are invited to visit her site at: [ Mysteries of Ancient History and Archaeology INTRODUCTION THE AMAZONS: A LISTING AMAZONS AS PART OF OUR CULTURE Brave Women Warriors Of Greek Myth: An Amazon Roster Amazon rider. INTRODUCTION The word Amazon is of unknown origin, however a folk etymology popped up which explained the word as being a deriviative of the preface "a-", meaning "without", followed by "mazos", meaning "breast". This folk etymology was supported by the folktale that Amazons cut off one breast to facilitate archery. However, this is most likely a story designed to discourage women from taking up archery. This speculation is supported by even the most casual observation of modern day female archers who are more than capable of using the bow with all breasts intact. Historically, Amazons were portrayed as beautiful women in Amazonomachies, which was an artform showing battles between the Amazons and Greeks. Amazons were trained to use all weapons and especially in single combat. They were honorable, courageous, brave and represented rebellion against sexism. Their tales spread quickly and soon stories of the Amazons were everywhere, including Africa, Asia, Europe, South America (the Amazon River was named after the female warriors), and North America in the mid-1900s with the comic book hero, Wonder Woman. The following is a list of eighty-two Amazons from Greek myth.

Introduction to Greek Mythology The Greeks were polytheistic in their religious beliefs. Polytheistic means they believed in and worshiped many different gods. In Greek mythology, the gods often represented different forms of nature. Their religion/mythology had no formal structure with the exception of various festivals held in honor of the gods. There was no sacred book or code of conduct to live by. The most powerful Greek gods were known as the Olympians. The Greeks believed the Olympians lived on the highest mountain in Greece, Mount Olympus. The Olympian gods included: Zeus, Hera, Apollo, Aphrodite, Ares, Artemis, Athena, Demeter, Hades, Hermes, Hephaestus, Poseidon and Hestia or later she was replaced in some lists by Dionysus.

RETURN TO CONTENTS GREEK MYTHOLOGY wgdavey@zianet.com Overview Preface Greek mythology differs from that of every other Indo European culture because of a number of circumstances. The most fundamental difference is that Greek myths result from the merging of the characteristic male-dominated Indo European culture with a sophisticated society that worshipped female deities. The myths reflect this but those of the Indo European culture do not seem to have been obscured by it. The second point is that the storytellers were true poets and artists and the myths are pure pleasure to read; however, we might expect that the tellers of the tales were not above adding to their content in the interests of their art. The third point is that the strength of the bardic tradition probably means that there is likely to have been preservation of even the oldest myths though later overlays and integration of female aspects will surely be present. A Brief History of the Greek People Although the Greeks are part of Europe their history differs from that of (most of) the other Indo Europeans here because they apparently entered their present lands from the general direction of the Black Sea rather than from the north. They encountered the non-Indo European culture of Mycenae, Knossos and others and eventually dominated these peoples; for example, the later language of the tablets excavated in Knossos was an early form of Greek quite unlike the earlier form. And, while the history of the events is unclear, the process was one of merging of cultures not of elimination of the earlier peoples.
