Hi !
-
Welcome back in "C'est une autre histoire"!
-
Today we are going to make the 2nd mythological restyling
-
Credits.
-
I remind you a bit the concept
-
if you didn't watch the last video.
-
The purpose of the "mythological restyling"
-
is to popularize an historic subject
-
which is called the Antiquity reception
-
No, wait !
-
Don't zap, I'll explain to you.
-
Antiquity reception is only studying
-
how in different historic periods
-
we receive the Antiquity.
-
"Reception."
-
How do we receive it ?
-
That is to say : how do we perceive it ?
-
How do we understand it?
-
How do we appropriate it ?
-
How do we eventually distort it
-
during Middle Ages,
-
Renaissance,
-
Modern era, contempory and today.
-
And, there are even people who work
-
on the Antiquity reception
-
in Antiquity !
-
Poh !
-
Antiquiteception
-
Remember also that during the Antiquity
-
I told you that during the Antiquity
-
Existed many different versions
-
of a same myth
-
so, I won't be able to relate all versions
-
at each time, I make some choice,
-
but indeed, you will meet others.
-
It will be so cool !
-
So, for this 2nd restyling
-
we'll speak about Athena,
-
the great godess of war and wisdom.
-
Yeah, it rocks !
-
So, who was Athena during the Antiquity ?
-
That's true that with our contemporian
-
point of vue, we don't understand
-
how to link war and wisdom.
-
A priori, it seems strange.
-
In fact, war and wisdom,
-
from the ancients outlook,
-
it's is not contradictory.
-
In fact Athena is the godess of the
-
rational, tactic, strategic war,
-
which conduct to the victory.
-
This type of war is in contradiction
-
with the Ares' war,
-
who is the god of the
-
pasionnate, violent, raved, cruel, bestial war...
-
So, the Athena's war is rational
-
while Ares' war is blind.
-
Besides, when they fight each other
-
in the Odyssee, Athena wins !
