Mystery of Number 12
Number 12 always reminds me the question “Why?” We see the number 12 everywhere like the European Union’s flag or the 12 apostles and no-one is actually paying attention to this. While reading this story it made me excited to know that someone also wonders the mystery of number 12. Story by
The Wedding of Peleus and Thetis
This story actually makes me think about why the legendary warrior Achilles was born, or more accurately, the kind of environment he was born into. The impact of this story on mythology and art is incredibly significant, and I believe every art enthusiast should have at least a basic understanding of this topic. Story by
Myth of Prometheus
Prometheus became a mentor to Zeus on many matters. Beneath actions like giving fire to humanity there is a significant symbolism. The gods taking fire and Prometheus returning it to humans might symbolize a real event from ancient times. When Prometheus returns the fire, the gods punish him by chaining him to the Caucasus Mountains, where a raven continuously eats his liver which means that ancient people understood the liver’s ability to regenerate. To understand all of this, we need to take a closer look at this story. Story by
