Description
This lecture series offered by Enlighten University is a sweeping and immersive journey into the deep roots of Western religious imagination, tracing a continuous thread from the prehistoric goddess-centered cultures of Old Europe, as reconstructed by Marija Gimbutas, through the formation of Greek myth, ritual, and mystery. It explores how early symbolic worlds grounded in fertility, earth, and renewal were transformed—but never fully erased—by later Indo-European cosmologies, reemerging in the Theogony, the mythic voyage of the Argonautica, and the initiatory landscapes of Eleusis and the Dionysian rites. Along the way, myth is revealed not as naïve storytelling but as a sophisticated language encoding cosmology, psychology, and sacred experience, culminating in the allegorical interpretations preserved in the Derveni Papyrus. Figures such as Hermes and the enduring serpent and snake-goddess motifs serve as liminal bridges between worlds, embodying continuity between chthonic earth wisdom and philosophical reflection. Taken together, the series reframes ancient religion as a living system of symbols, rites, and insights—one that charts humanity's evolving relationship with the cosmos, death, rebirth, and the hidden structures of meaning that underlie both myth and thought, while inviting the listener to reconsider the origins of spiritual knowledge and its lasting influence on Western consciousness.
