Description :

Step beyond the familiar stories and discover the stunning truth behind the myths of gods who defied death itself. In this captivating MythVision livestream, we dive deep into the fascinating narratives of ancient deities who died and were reborn, shaping human culture and religion across millennia. Guided by the pioneering scholarship of Sir James George Frazer, author of the classic work The Golden Bough, we'll explore the universal patterns he identified in myths like Osiris, Dionysus, Attis, Adonis, and Tammuz, whose stories embodied humanity's deepest hopes and fears about death, rebirth, and seasonal renewal. We'll also engage with the groundbreaking research of contemporary scholar Paola Corrente, whose rigorous analysis in Dioniso e Cristo revitalizes Frazer's insights with new archaeological findings and detailed textual studies. Corrente expertly illuminates how these resurrection tales directly influenced early Christianity, shaping the story of Jesus' resurrection. Join us as we unveil hidden connections, ancient rituals, and mythological archetypes, revealing how these timeless tales of dying and rising gods continue to resonate profoundly with humanity. Prepare yourself—because these myths may change how you view religion, mythology, and the very idea of resurrection itself.
