| Abstract: | The study begins by unraveling the mythological tapestry woven within Homer's Odyssey, analyzing the encounters with monsters like Scylla and Charybdis, and the Cyclops Polyphemus. These narratives serve as windows into ancient Greek perceptions of the monstrous and the heroic, shedding light on the cultural values and fears of the time. Moving forward, the research explores the monstrous challenges faced by heroes in works such as the Argonautica, examining how mythological creatures serve as obstacles to be overcome on the hero's journey. It scrutinizes the psychological and symbolic dimensions of these challenges, highlighting their relevance to individual and societal struggles. A significant aspect of the study involves the gaze on monsters in Greek mythology, considering how these creatures are depicted and perceived within the cultural imagination. It investigates the evolution of monster imagery and its relationship to shifting societal attitudes and beliefs, reflecting on the intersection of myth and reality. Furthermore, the research delves into the evolvement of monsters in Greek mythology, tracing their development from primal fears to complex symbolic entities. It explores the ways in which monsters evolve alongside cultural and literary trends, adapting to serve new narrative functions and reflect changing social dynamics. The study also examines the reflection of values and fears in the portrayal of mythological creatures, elucidating how monsters embody cultural anxieties, moral dilemmas, and existential concerns. It analyzes the symbolic resonance of specific creatures in relation to societal norms and taboos. Moreover, the research investigates the integration of mythological creatures into ancient Greek religious practices and art, exploring their roles in ritualistic worship and symbolic representation. It considers how these creatures function as mediators between the human and divine realms, embodying cosmic forces and spiritual concepts. Additionally, the study compares and contrasts mythological creatures across different cultures, highlighting universal motifs and cultural variations. It examines the connections between Greek mythology and other mythic traditions, elucidating shared archetypes and cultural exchanges. Finally, the research explores the connection between mythological creatures and specific geographical or topographical features, examining how natural landscapes shape mythic narratives and creature symbolism. It considers the relationship between myth and environment, illuminating the ways in which geographical features inform cultural mythology. In summary, this research provides a thorough investigation into the symbolic and cultural importance of mythological creatures within Greek mythology, offering valuable insights into their complex roles and lasting impact. Through an analysis of their portrayal in diverse aspects of ancient Greek society, this study enhances our comprehension of humanity's enduring fascination with both the monstrous and the mythical. |
