myths are the dreams of the world

Myths have been connected to our species since the dawn of civilization

and they are extremely important when we want to understand a certain

era

For this video I chose the Greek mythology but in the next few videos I

will try to cover the myths and legends of other cultures

Greek mythology, as in other ancient cultures,

was used as a means to explain the environment in which humankind lived,

the natural phenomena they witnessed and passing of time through the days

Myths were also connected to religion in the Greek world

and explain the origin and lives of the gods

were humanity had came from and where it was going after death

and gave advice on the best way to lead a happy life

Finally, myths were used to re-tell historical events

so that people could maintain contact with their ancestors,

the wars they fought and the places they explored

The primordial deities are the first entities or beings that come into existence.

they formed the very fabric of the universe and as such

are immortal

The Primordials included Chaos(Void) Chronos(Time), Gaia (Earth)

and Uranus(Sky). These deities are a group of gods from which all the other gods

descended

They preceded the Titans, the descendants of Gaia

and Uranus.The first twelve Titans include

Oceanus, Cronus, Crius

Tethys, Theia, Phoebe, Rhea, and Themis.

After Cronus overthrew his father Uranus,

the Titans ruled, with Cronus as their head.

Cronus is the father of the three most important gods

of greek mythology: Zeus, Hades

and Poseidon. A war was fought between Titans and Gods,

but finally the gods triumphed with the aid of older powers.

The defeated Titans were hauled down to Tartarus and imprisoned there.

In Greek mythology, the Twelve Olympians are the major deities of the Greek

pantheon,

commonly considered to be Zeus, Hera Poseidon

Demether, Athena, Apollo, Artemis

Ares, Aphrodite, Hephaestus,

Hermes and either Hestia, or Dionysus

Hades and Persephone were sometimes included

as part of the twelve Olympians although in general

Hades was excluded because he resided permanently in the underworld

The Heroes! The most famous being:

Hercules, Achilles, Jason, Perseus, and Theseus

but including a great many more. All have divine parents and therefore bridge

the gap between mortals and gods.

They pursue fantastic adventures and epitomise ideal

qualities such as perseverance, for example

Hercules' twelve labours; or fidelity

for example, Penelope´s waiting for her faithfull

Odysseus. I hope you liked the video

and thanks for watching. See you soon!
