Ancient myths are examined here as a secret code of the ancient world: from the power of Zeus to the journey of the Argonauts, from vases and sculptures to tragedies. Schoolchildren will learn how the Greeks explained nature, order, and human passions, and familiar legends will resonate as living stories about choice, fear, strength, fate, art, and memory. Greek myths are often perceived as a set of spectacular plots with gods, heroes, and monsters. In the class, they are offered to be examined more closely - as a language through which ancient people explained the world, nature, power, fears, and human desires. This approach helps children see behind familiar names a complex system of images, where each hero and each action works as a sign. The lecture is conducted by cultural expert Rimma Gaze as part of the author's cycle "In the Time Machine to Art. Station Antiquity." The conversation will address why Zeus is associated not only with thunder but with the idea of order, how the journey of the Argonauts can be read as a metaphor for growing up and finding one's path, and why the same myth sounded differently in tragedy, sculpture, and vase painting. The material is aimed at schoolchildren aged 8-12, so complex topics are translated into an understandable language, without losing meaning and respect for ancient culture. Ideas on where to go in Nizhny Novgorod are collected on our website.
