GREEK MYTHOLOGY
The gods, their myths, and why
they're worshipped.
Essays on the Greek gods and goddesses. Most of these are analyses of their role in myth and religion. I aim to combat stereotypes about the gods from popular culture, and understand them in their original and in a modern context.
Retellings and analyses of myths.
My takes on myths like Hades and Persephone, Perseus and Medusa, and Eros and Psyche.
Essays on Ancient Greek paganism.
Greek mythology can't properly be discussed or analyzed without putting it in the context of the religion that surrounded it. There's a big difference between the way gods behave in stories, and the way they were interpreted by their actual worshippers!
Essays on the god dearest to my heart.
I have done more research on Dionysus than any other gods, and I have put the most effort into analyzing his myth and cult. I interpret the concepts associated with him in a mythical and in a spiritual context.
