Not in Order Mythology Group Presents

After almost 3 weeks my group and I presented our mythology work on the Male Divine. As a group we focused on explaining the different archetypes of the male divine and how they are presented. It was interesting to see that there were five different types of the male divine that ultimately shapes literature. i particular focused on Gods and Fathers, and The Under World. Begin with religion and then the dynamics of Father-Son relationship, I was surprise to see that there is a particular pattern that is seen in all mythology and can even be applied to real life. I was specifically surprised with Father-Son archetype and how this was tied into both desert religions as well as Greco-Roman religion. The father, as the God, is seen as a distant figure who the son cannot connect with, yet would like to make proud, but often feels as if he is not adequate. This is the background story of almost all boy to man stories in Hollywood!
