FAMILY TREE OF GREEK MYTHOLOGY

This is the most complete family tree of the Greek mythology. The map includes more than 800 characters among gods, heroes and monsters. All those characters are connected. Who begat Odisse? Were Demetra and Poseidon erano brothers or lovers? What is the progeny of Cadmo and Armonia? This map answers a lot of questions. It clearly illustrates the progenies and the mythological relationships among all the characters. AVAILABLE IN ITALIAN and ENGLISH LANGUAGE

« Why this sky, this earth, why life, death, love, pain? Humans’ anxious questioning about the world and nature generates the myth, an encounter with the divine, the expression of naive wonder, the strong pre-logical imagination of the ancient Greeks faced with the spectacles and hidden power of the cosmos. The myth was thus the first form of knowledge, the first leap of the human mind, whose ultimate sense and flashing images pop up again in all eras and places. In the beginning was Chaos, the immense void that contains everything in power, from which Logos, the word, emerges clearly and gives names to things, tells about them and creates them. »

Fin dall’antichità si è cercato di realizzare un albero genealogico dei miti greci. Solo con l’avvento del digitale si è potuto arrivare a un risultato soddisfacente.

The first attempt to draft a family tree of the Greek Mythology dates back to the period of the amanuensi. The great result of today is possible thanks to the digital era.
Gea 
is the Earth, the big feminine primordial principle that receives the masculine element to beget life. But Gea is able to beget by herself.The diacritical mark “tilde” shows every kind of relationship: marriage bonds, love encounters, illicit relations, and ambiguous relationships among gods and human beings.
