Alright, so I found that people are confused why there are different versions off things, and I’ve decided to explain a bit. However, if you guys have a better explanation, you are welcome to go to https://mushroom-scholars.org/can-someone-explain/
So mythology is the thought of ancient people who don’t know science. They make stories to explain stuff, and different places have different versions. Orphic cosmogony refers to the mythological account of the origin and structure of the universe according to the Orphic tradition, a set of mystical religious beliefs and texts in ancient Greece attributed to the legendary poet and prophet Orpheus.
Reasons why Orphic cosmogony is different from Greek Mythology:
- Different Origins and Audiences
- Influence of Pre-Greek and Eastern Thought
- Philosophical and Mystical Orientation
- Reaction to Traditional Religion
- Role of Mystery Cults and Initiation
Again, if any of you have something to say, comment on https://mushroom-scholars.org/can-someone-explain/
My gods thx. Bust still, if only the names are the same but everything else is different, is that still the same myth? Yet it is still considered to be “Greek”. I know a lot of people actually think of this myth as “un-Greek worthy” too.
