EC: Mythology Video- Gods & Goddesses


After watching the first video, "Great Goddesses", it was more centered on how many goddesses of mythology are known to provide wealth and fertility. However they can also be a tad bit sneaky and have loopholes involved in their interests. It was also found that many ancient womanly statues had been found suggesting that maybe the/a woman was worshiped in the ancient times. In the second video, "Fire and Buffalo Goddesses" it is started with a story of these Hawaiian goddesses and how one had fell in love but became angry and decided to burn, with lava, the other sister's things. Long story short it is questioned whether our actions towards the gods influence their actions towards us. I feel like depending on the god's intentions, this could be a true thing. The third video explored Archetypes and Male Divinities. It was very interesting to see how usually in mythology how the sons of a god usually become conduits of their father's attributes. Yet, they often hate their father's due to lack of correspondence, and usually end up overthrowing, or attempting to, their father. In the last video, "The Dying God" I found it very interesting that in one of the stories being told, that the god over hell was actually a female! Later in the video it was concluded that most often we see that gods sacrificed themselves so that humans could live. This is very powerful and maybe gods and goddesses don't do things out of spite, but to teach the human race.
