Hidden Intellectualism In Greek-Roman Mythology

Greek/Roman Mythology is a topic which has always fascinated me, the idea that long-ago people believed that the gods ominously reigned over and controlled how their lives played out it fascinating. With such a boundless and copious history full of many different myths and legends that have become so iconic that most people in the current culture and education know at least somewhat about it. I think that the hidden intellectualism in Greek/Roman Mythology lies in the way we go about discovering the many different tales and how they intertwined. This is because, for one to truly grasp many of the stories told, they must first have background on the people, god’s, and creatures that are within the story. On top of that, the folkloric journeys display intellectualism through the way people can argue in a clash of ideas over the choices made by both the mortals and the god's.

The tales also help us in modern day, in the fact that we can reflect and view the choices and mistakes that a character chose and using that we can think about how we would make that choice. On top of that, we can use the scenarios to help us make a better decision in a future incident that might be similar. Hidden intellectualism in Greek/Roman Mythology is sweeping, but what we must truly look at is the larger and more obvious themes and lessons that have been shown in the stories. If we observe and critique them with an intellectual mindset we can discover ways to solve a problem we might experience later, or we may even gain knowledge and insight that can help us later in
