Tatweer organises new intellectual session on Greek mythology
Exploring the depth of Greek mythology
On Saturday, 10th May 2025, Tatweer will host a new intellectual session under the Riwaq programme titled "Greek Mythology", in Sharjah. The session will highlight the importance of understanding Greek mythology, which extends beyond being just ancient stories. It will be explored as a symbolic pattern that continues to influence global literature and art today. Greek myths encapsulate profound human emotions such as love, jealousy, ambition, and revenge, alongside philosophical and ethical questions about justice, fate, good, and evil.
Connecting mythology to modern literary works
Studying these myths provides valuable analytical tools for understanding modern literary works. It reveals the deep connections between history and human culture. Greek mythology is a cornerstone reference in many contemporary artistic and intellectual productions, making it essential for those seeking a deeper understanding of contemporary literature and art.
Enhancing critical and analytical thinking
The study of mythology not only broadens intellectual horizons but also enhances critical and analytical thinking skills. By analysing recurring patterns and uncovering hidden meanings within texts, individuals can develop a deeper understanding of how stories—despite variations in form—share essential, underlying themes. Recognising these symbols enables individuals to engage with the world around them with greater awareness and insight.
