Notes on Greek Mythology The Beginnings (much thanks to Ingi and Edgar Parin D’Aularie)

Night Sky: Uranus Mother Earth: Gaea (or Gaia)

1 st set of kids: the Titans Famous Names: Prometheus, Epimetheus, Atlas, Rhea, and CRONUS 2 nd set of kids: the Cyclopes and the 3 fifty-headed, hundred-handed giants

The son overthrew his father, but feared that his son would do the same, so he swallows his children: Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Poseidon This is Goya’s famous painting: Saturn Devouring his Son

Zeus gets away because Rhea gives Cronus a rock wrapped in baby clothes Zeus is spirited away to CRETE, where he’s raised by nymphs and a magical goat (yes, a goat) named Amaltheia Metis tricks Cronus into drinking a potent herb, and he throws up the kids, who are fine b/c they’re gods Thus begins the battle with the TITANS

The Beginnings of The Trojan War It starts w/a wedding and a beauty contestIt starts w/a wedding and a beauty contest The goddess Eris(Strife) said that she would give to the fairest at the wedding of Peleus and Thetis this gift – the apple.The goddess Eris(Strife) said that she would give to the fairest at the wedding of Peleus and Thetis this gift – the apple. “to the fairest” was written on it.“to the fairest” was written on it.

The Judgement of Paris The golden apple sparked a vanity-fueled dispute between Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite that eventually led to the Trojan War. The Apple of Discord became symbol for disputes for people who purposely cause quarrels.

Another Image of The Judgement of Paris

But Helen is already married to Menelaus of Sparta

Some lineage stuff: - Helen and Clytemnestra are sisters, sort of. -They marry brothers: Menelaus (of Sparta) and Agamemnon (of Mycenae), both of whom fight in the Trojan War later -EVERYONE wants to marry Helen, and one of these admirers was Odysseus, but he asked for her gentle cousin’s (Penelope’s) hand in marriage instead

Their father, King Tyndareus solved the problem of the hundreds of suitors with Odysseus’ help: the King must ask all the suitors to accept the one he chose for Helen’s husband and swear to stand by and help to win her back should anyone try to steal or otherwise harm her. The suitors agreed. Each one hoped that the choice would fall on him, and they all took the oath, so when her father gave Helen to Menelaus, they were mostly okay with it.

But Paris “abducts” Helen. Stories vary on exactly how

More Paris “Abducting” Helen…

Thus Began The Trojan War “Was this the face that launch'd a thousand ships, And burnt the topless towers of Ilium? “ ~Christopher Marlowe

Other Images of Helen

So, Odysseus comes up with this idea…years later

And Troy Falls…

And so, the Odyssey begins as Odysseus tries to find his way back to Ithaca. Let’s hope he learns something on this mythic journey…
