Knowledge Menu- Greek Mythology The Knowledge Tree Attached Greek Mythology resides in the Humanities discipline. The Humanities is a very broad field of knowledge which involves the study of many subjects, including: the classics, history, languages, law, literature, the arts, and religion. Greek Mythology commonly resides in the discipline of literature now, as most myths are written as stories. Before writing was common, Greek Mythology was more of an oral lyric tradition. Poets, Bards, and great story tellers would recite ancient myths for all to hear and to pass down tales of history. One of Greek Mythology’s main functions is to answer questions that humans have posed since the beginning of time. Some questions can readily be answered by science today. Others, such as religion, are open to passionate debate and still remain a mystery. By studying the Humanities, we ask ourselves essential questions about our existence and our understanding of the world and all it encompasses. Greek Mythology provides the answers to many of those questions in a context that people strongly believed in at the time. Science can now answer and explain many of the questions that people answered with myths a long time ago. However, these myths and stories endure as they reflect the beliefs, ideals, and concerns of the people who wrote them. People in this field are typically referred to as Humanitarians, and people who immerse themselves with the study of Greek Mythology are commonly referred to as Literary Scholars, Mythologists, or Comparative Mythologists. The Greek Mythology Knowledge Tree is heavily immersed in the Humanities. From there, Greek Mythology is related to nearly every branch of knowledge, as mythology is used to explain those events that humans could not readily explain during the time period. Overview of the Discipline- Greek Mythology How is the discipline defined: Mythology allows us insight into a specific culture, their values, belief systems, and norms. Nearly all cultures have enduring myths or beliefs. The Humanities is the general study of several disciplines to gain a broad understanding of the world. To understand Greek Mythology, one must have a strong background in Humanities, including the study of classics, history, languages, law, literature, the arts, philosophy, and religion. Mythology comes together to explain many ideas in the Humanities. Humanities studies can be traced back to the great Ancient Greek philosophers: Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, whose teachings and philosophies we still follow and study today. Greek Mythology is a compilation of myths that have been passed down via oral, artistic, and written avenues. Greek Mythology was, at the time it was created, meant to explain the scientific phenomena and musings of human nature that could not be readily explained. Today, Greek Mythology gives us an inside look at the ancient Greek civilization, their society, cultural beliefs and norms. The overall purpose or mission of the discipline: Greek Mythology was originally cataloged to help Greeks understand the world and self as a whole by studying and reflecting on principles of nature, law, and the world. Mythology allows recounts historical events and preserves them within famous stories and lyric poems. Now, Comparative mythologists study Greek Mythology and other myths to compare myths across cultures to understand societies and their cultural values and norms. Many Literary Scholars study and teach Greek Mythology because the overarching questions and ideas that it poses are still questions modern citizens are curious about today. Myths still help us make sense of the world around us when we read them as parables. People are also fascinated with the historical world and traditions from where society has come from. Myths can be seen as cautionary tales, historical accounts, entertaining stories with parables about right and wrong or good and evil. They can be for entertainment, but they also present us with a schema to understand the nature our world. The subdivisions and major areas of concentration for Greek Mythology are: History~ the history of the Greeks Law~ understanding the governing rule of politics for the Greeks and justice Literature~ the study of stories, poems, plays, etc., that have been recorded. This gives us insight into Greeks' culture Arts~ the study of dance, music, theater, and physical works of art Philosophy~ the study of general overarching concerns of existence, truth, beauty, etc. Religion~ the study of a higher power and set of belief systems Greek Mythology resides in the Literature subdivision. Although all myths originally began as oral traditions and were passed on through stories and lyric ballads, they all are a written transmission of the past. 4/5. Questions concerning each subdivision: History~ What do we learn about the history of the Greeks from the study of mythology? Law~ How did the Greeks view law, order, and justice? Literature~ What do we learn by studying the myths of the Ancient Greeks? Arts~ How does the art, painting, sculptures, statues, buildings, temples, contribute to Greek Mythology?
