Transformations of Myth Through Time - Joseph Campbell

From Darkness to Light: The Mystery Religions of Ancient Greece (1x6)

:

Through a presentation of beautiful and compelling works of art, Campbell illustrates the myths of ancient Greece. In particular, he tells the story of Persephone and Demeter as the basis for the mystery religions. The Eleusinian mysteries encapsulate ancient Greek religion. Mystical elements of Christianity contrast with the historical flow of the Bible. This mystical way reemerges as the foundation for the lustrous Renaissance.
