Literature is a mirror of human experience—capturing our hopes, fears, dreams, and dilemmas across time.
Among the many sources that have shaped global literary thought, Greek mythology stands as a towering influence, inspiring storytellers for centuries.
From epic journeys and tragic heroes to divine intervention and moral conflicts, Greek myths are far more than historical tales.
They are blueprints of narrative structure, symbolic wisdom, and deep psychological insight.
This July, Professor Academy brings you an enriching opportunity to dive into this fascinating world with a bilingual Free webinar on
“Greek Mythology in Literature”, led by Dr. S. Vasu.
Greek mythology is a rich tapestry of legends that originated in ancient Greece, featuring gods like Zeus, Athena, Poseidon, and heroes like Achilles, Oedipus, and Odysseus.
These myths offered explanations for natural events, social customs, and human behavior, but their influence went far beyond religion or folklore.
Writers and poets across ages—from Homer and Sophocles to Shakespeare, Keats, Yeats, and even T.S. Eliot—have drawn from Greek myths to explore deep human themes like fate, pride, identity, love, revenge, and the tragic fall.
Greek mythology serves as a powerful literary device:
Understanding these myths not only deepens our reading of classical texts but also enhances our interpretation of modern literature, cinema, and drama.
