Like all ancient civilizations, stories from Greek Mythology were created to explain the many natural phenomena and bring meaning to the mystery of our world. In Jungian theory, archetypes of human nature identify patterns of thoughts and behaviour of modern men and women. Apollo's qualities as a modern man can be attributed to his achievements and recognition as a young man marked for success. Uncomfortable with chaos or a discordant note in music, Apollo men thrive on order, upholders of Law and Order. In today's society, Apollo men thrive in a patriarchal culture where competition and acquiring power are reinforced at the expense of true feelings of empathy, staging the perfect set for narcissism, which is prevalent in today's world.
The series Beyond Mythology, the Myths of Nature pays tribute to the natural world through the Gods & Goddesses of Greek Mythology which contributed to an understanding of the laws of the universe, humanity and that of our world.
Greek God Apollo, son of Zeus and twin brother of Artemis
