Seven Myths of the Soul

Tim Addey will present a philosophical interpretation of the Greek myths, so that we can utilize their teachings today.

For more than a thousand years, the Pythagorean and Platonic philosophers of antiquity took their inspiration from the mythological heritage which was the living heart of their pagan religion, art and science. While in earlier times the inner truths of myth had been held to be suitable only for those who had undergone the initiations and training of mystery cults and academies of philosophy, in later antiquity circumstances forced their interpreters to become more open and commit their insights to writing. In this talk, Platonic scholar and author Tim Addey will draw on these writings to present a philosophical interpretation of the Greek myths, so that we can utilize their teachings today.
