From the beginning, it is clear that humanity has wanted some sort of explanation for the way the world works, and myths have long served that purpose. Whether it is the myth of Apollo driving his chariot across the sky each day to explain the bright light that traverses the sky (and to provide some sort of comfort that the gods are running things, even though the Greek gods certainly were not the benevolent sort) or the myth of Hades and Persephone’s twisted love that ...

Accumulating at ...
