Ancient Greek Religion

By Tyler Bauer through Professor Rev. Dr. James Kenneth Powell, opensourcebuddhism.org This piece offers an overview of the ancient Greek religion, discussing the Minoan and Mycenaean precursors. The discussion of sin Greek-style, or personal pride known as hubris is discussed along with the role of oracles. The origins of the gods are presented at an odd place in the middle. Bauer gives a description of the titans and defines each of the Greek gods with an accompanying image. The Fates are presented as above the gods and Dionysis as role model for Christ is presented, along with Aphrodite and Eros as types for Mary, Queen of Heaven and son.

I am James Powell, this student's professor. I can't correct all the problems in all the thousand plus documentaries, but you are indeed right about all of it Pilaeus. Had I written the script for this, this wouldn't have happened. Thanks for the corrections!

Woah! I'm a little high right now, and being raised in a Christian society, while watching this it suddenly hit me what it felt like for Ancient Greeks being raised in ancient time with their religion being something they were so certain elegantly explained the world into which they were born. It's like I experienced a genetic ancestral memory from an ancient Greek ancestor. These people REALLY believed all of this, and that every other religion was wrong. I'm experiencing the qualia of that.

greek religion is unimmaginably more complex than what can be said in a ten minute video. the gods are not twelve. Their number is like the stars. And like the sky, they are one. There is one god beond the manifestations of creation. Then there are the spirits and terrestrial and marrine gods and subterranean gods, and in generral the cosmos is seen as a living immortal being animated by a single soul. The soul of the world.

'Neopaganism' doesn't concern us. It may even be a manufactured ploy to detract from the current world rule of the so-called 'Monotheists'.

"Pagan" as a pejorative term was used in the past by institutions attempting to destroy other cultures and native/ethnic religions.
