Greek mythological stories have been around for over 2,700 years. They are classical pieces of art that tell stories of Greek civilians, Gods, Goddesses, and mythical creatures. More importantly, if you strip away the powers the Gods have, the half human half animal hybrids, the multi-headed creatures and the magic, you have humans interacting with animals and nature in the most recognizable and fundamental ways. The essence of these stories is to teach lessons about growing up, interpersonal relationships, love, and the changing of weather and seasons. Because of this, these stories are applicable to even present day struggles people might be facing. One of my goals in my thesis is to bring these stories into a modern light through my designs, to hopefully encourage a new audience to interact in these tales and perhaps find comfort in the stories they could potentially relate to.
