While we often look to the past for an example of a better world, our counterparts living in the ancient world did the same, viewing even their time as a fallen one, ruled by greed. Greek and Roman authors such as Hesiod and Ovid detailed the decay of the world from original perfection in the myth of the Golden, Silver, Bronze, and Iron Ages, and the philosophy of Plato, in his Statesman dialogue, leans upon the myth of the ages in its metaphysics. If we seek to understand the myth of the ages through mythology and philosophy, we find practical advice for hopeful living in our own lives, even in a world that feels fallen and broken.Mythos & Logos are two ancient words that can be roughly translated as “Story & Meaning.”Support the channel by subscribing, liking, and commenting to join the conversation!Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/mythosandlogos00:00 Introduction00:12 Roman Mosaic Depicting Anaximander with Sundial00:20 Hesiod’s Works and Days from Biblioteca Marciana00:55 The Creation by James Tissot01:16 The First Transformation01:32 Ovid’s Metamorphoses from the European Library of Information and Culture02:00 Ovid, Metamorphoses, Book I03:13 Booroobin Sunshine Coast Australia by Jordan Condon, licensed under Creative Commons03:31 Star Map by Elizabeth Shurtleff03:40 The Golden Age04:01 The Golden Age by Lucas Cranach the Elder04:15 The Golden Age by Frans Francken the Younger et. al.04:26 Spring by Jean-Jacques Le Veau after Charles Dominique Joseph Eisen04:50 Funerary Stele of Demokleides, photographed by Furius, licensed under Creative Commons04:54 Hesiod, Works and Days05:11 Nothing Gold Can Stay05:15 Titan Struck by Lightning by François Dumont05:36 Winter by Jean-Jacques Le Veau after Charles Dominique Joseph Eisen05:50 Agricultural Calendar by Master of the Geneva Boccaccio08:58 Title Page to 1539 Edition of Hesiod’s Works and Days06:20 The Souls of Acheron by Adolf Hirémy-Hirschl06:34 Achilles’ Sacrifice of Trojan Prisoners from the François Tomb07:09 The Iron Age by Jan Collaert II et. al.07:22 The Iron Age by Jean-Jacques Le Veau after Charles Dominique Joseph Eisen07:32 The Age of Iron by Paolo Fiammingo07:40 Illustration from Griffith’s Guide to the Iron Trade of Great Britain07:59 The Close of the Silver Age by Lucas Cranach the Elder08:19 Justice by Raphael08:26 Truth at the Bottom of a Well by Jean-Léon Gérome09:06 The Changing Ages09:16 Two Young Men Hunting a Deer by the Dokimasia Painter09:26 Artemis Kaurotrophos from Archaeological Museum of Brauron09:40 Page of the Codex Oxoniensis Clarkianus 39, Dialogue Politikos10:16 Saturnus by Jan Van Vianen10:28 Jupiter on his Eagle Enthroned in the Clouds by Stradanus10:55 The Age of Bronze by Paolo Fiammingo11:42 The Course of Empire by Thomas Cole12:18 The Golden Age by Hendrick van der Borcht the Elder12:36 The Stars Above12:58 The Golden Age by Abraham Bloemaert13:22 The Age of Gold by Jacopo Zucchi13:38 Booroobin Sunshine Coast Australia photographed by Jordan Condon, licensed under Creative Commons13:55 Astronomy Amateur by Halfblue, licensed under Creative Commons14:29 The Age of Gold by José Manuel Félix Magdalena, licensed under Creative CommonsAll works of art are in the public domain unless otherwise noted.Ambiment - The Ambient by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license.
