Where did Greek mythology begin — and what does it mean?
In this video, I explore Hesiod’s Theogony: a foundational poem that tells the story of how the universe, the gods, and cosmic order came into being. This text is not just myth — it’s myth-making: a structured vision of divine succession, violence, and a collection of stories that shaped Western literature and imagination.
We’ll look at the Theogony’s literary history, its most important stories, its meaning and relevance.
🔱 Why does Cronus overthrow Uranus?
🔱 What does "chaos" really mean?
🔱 And how did this poem give the gods their shape?
