In A Midsummer Nights Dream, Shakespeare stages the workings of love. Theseus and Hippolyta, about to marry, are figures from mythology.

These observances once represented the spiritual life of Greece, and were considered for two thousand years and more the appointed means for regeneration through an interior union with the Divine Essence. However absurd, or even offensive they may seem to us, we should therefore hesitate long before we venture to lay desecrating hands on what others have esteemed holy. We can learn a valuable lesson in this regard from the Grecian and Roman writers, who had learned to treat the popular religious rites with mirth, but always considered the Eleusinian Mysteries with the deepest reverence.It is ignorance which leads to profanation. Men ridicule what they do not properly understand. Alcibiades was drunk when he ventured to touch what his countrymen deemed sacred. The undercurrent of this world is set toward one goal; and inside of human credulitycall it human weakness, if you pleaseis a power almost infinite, a holy faith capable of apprehending the supremest truths of all Existence. The veriest dreams of life, pertaining as they do to "the minor mystery of death," have in them more than external fact can reach or explain; and Myth, however much she is proved to be a child of Earth, is also received among men as the child of Heaven. The Cinder-Wench of the ashes will become the Cinderella of the Palace, and be wedded to the Kings Son.

Tell me, O Muse, of that ingenious hero who travelled far and wide after he had sacked the famous town of Troy. Many cities did he visit, and many were the nations with whose manners and customs he was acquainted; moreover he suffered much by sea while trying to save his own life and bring his men safely home; but do what he might he could not save his men, for they perished through their own sheer folly in eating the cattle of the Sun-god Hyperion; so the god prevented them from ever reaching home. Tell me, too, about all these things, oh daughter of Jove, from whatsoever source you may know them.

While traveling in Greece, Miss Burt found the children of the Primary Schools reading these stories in the lower grades, the book being one used next above the primer. The interest was enthusiastic, and she brought home a copy of the book, which she has now arranged as a second reading-book for our own schools. The rapidity of action in the stories of Herakles, Jason, and the other Heroes of the Myth, the prowess and courage and untiring endurance of the men, render the characters worthy subjects of thought to young mind , and have secured the stories a permanent place in educational literature.

"Roma es hoy", nos dice el Dr. Tapia, "porque la mitología romana está presente en todo: en el lenguaje, en el calendario, en las estrellas y en los planetas; en la taxonomía y orden de las cosas; en el nombre de los dias, en las religiones judeocristianas; en el Antiguo y en el Nuevo Testamento; en nuestra forma de hacer y de pensar y, por supuesto, en el amor, que no es otra cosa que decir Roma de manera inversa." Comparandola con la Inglaterra del siglo XIX, Roma es hoy, diria tambien Edward Thompson, el prestigioso historiador ingles, con unas cuantas diferencias debidas a la tecnologia, pero, por el resto, el modelo de las sociedades modernas es Roma la Eterna. Incluso con la diversificacion del mundo, sus guerras y las nuevas y viejas fronteras. Porque la expansion de las religiones judeocristianas, y de la catolica principalmente, sigue siendo en buena medida una expansion de la mitologia romana y su anterior Imperio mucho mas alla de lo que pudiera haber imaginado nunca la mitologia griega. Si creias que la mitologia romana es una simple copia de la mitologia griega, debes leer este libro. Te llevaras varias sorpresas.

Felipe Martínez Marzoa defiende una tesis fuerte y a la vez señala una dificultad. La tesis es que el decir griego, un decir relevante en tanto que tal, es aquél capaz de hacer comparecer cada cosa en su irreductibilidad. La dificultad surge porque si ninguna obra griega hasta el final de la epoca clasica es texto, en el sentido que actualmente posee este termino, todas han llegado a nostros como textos.

La fábula fue un género literario de muy larga tradición y muy extensa popularidad. Durante siglos y siglos se narraron y leyeron esas breves ficciones en que los animales parlantes protagonizan ejemplares encuentros de los que podia deducirse una cierta moraleja. En la literatura griega fue Esopo el fabulista por excelencia, el que dio su nombre a la coleccion canonica del genero, ese repertorio traducido luego a todas las lenguas de Europa. La primera parte del este libro trata de la fabula en general, de su historia, su estructura narrativa y sus ecos. La segunda parte trata de una fabula muy representativa y comenta sus multiples versiones en diversas lenguas y epocas. Desde Esopo y Fedro hasta La Fontaine Y Samaniego, el apologo del astuto zorro y el vanidoso cuervo ha conocido estupendas versiones literarias. Aqui se analizan diez: tres antiguas, tres medievales y cuatro modernas. A traves de esas variaciones y variantes se puede advertir claramente el juego creativo de la intertextualidad y la parodia.

A True Story Lucian - Lucian of Samosata (125c.180) was a Greek satirist of Syrian or Assyrian extraction, and True History is perhaps his most well-known tale. In this tale, the protagonist visits the Moon, meets extraterrestrial creatures, and takes part in interplanetary warfare. This piece of fantastical fiction parodies many works such as Homers Odyssey, and is certainly a contender for the title of earliest science fiction story.

Heracles Euripides - Euripides Heracles is an extraordinary play, innovative in its treatment of the myth, bold in its dramatic structure, and filled with effective human pathos. The play tells a tale of horror: Heracles, the greatest hero of the Greeks, is maddened by the gods to murder his wife and children. But this suffering and divine malevolence are leavened by the friendship between Heracles and Theseus, which allows the hero to survive this final and most painful labor. The Heracles raises profound questions about the gods and mortal values in a capricious and harsh world.

Titus Andronicus - William Shakespeare - "Titus Andronicus is a tragedy by William Shakespeare, and possibly George Peele, believed to have been written between 1588 and 1593. It is thought to be Shakespeares first tragedy, and is often seen as his attempt to emulate the violent and bloody revenge plays of his contemporaries, which were extremely popular with audiences throughout the sixteenth century. The play is set during the latter days of the Roman Empire and tells the fictional story of Titus, a general in the Roman army, who is engaged in a cycle of revenge with Tamora, Queen of the Goths. It is Shakespeares bloodiest and most violent work and traditionally was one of his least respected plays."

Prometeo es un titán que, gracias a su proverbial astucia, ha engañado a los dioses más de una vez. Y de entre todas sus hazañas, la más memorable es la del robo del fuego del olimpo para regalárselo a los mortales, a pesar de arriesgarse con ello a un castigo terrible.Considerado en la antiguedad el padre y protector de los hombres, Prometeo establece un estrecho vinculo entre el mundo divino y el humano. su riqueza simbolica como creador y transmisor de conocimiento lo convierten una figura determinante de la cultura occidental.
