The Myth Made Fact: Reading Greek and Roman Mythology through Christian Eyes with Dr. Louis Markos

[@mwalsh128]

Love the passion, insight and the way they use their familiarity to play off each other so well, a microcosm of the Tolkien and Lewis interactions. What a blessed conversation.

This is so beautiful and refreshing! Thank you!

This is a great talk. I write Fantasy Books and over and over, Christ story is played out or as close as a broken human can get to it. Thanks for sharing it. Picked up Dr. Markos's book. Sounds fascinating to read.

8:04 okay, Tolkien continues to blow my mind. I just had a realization. Correct me if I’m wrong. Gandalfs name was also known as “Mithrandir” and the Persian demigod (another important point) referenced is “Mithras”. Is Gandalfs other name, a foreshadow and archetype to his story. Life, violent death, and return to life and wise old man (who is a demigod of sorts).

[@Mitch_De_Jong]

Did a little research and it sounds like mithras might not have died but in fact the theory that he did was influenced from Christ dying and rising

Galatians 4:4 "But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law,"

"Rum thing, all that about the Dying God. Seems to have really happened once.” Surprised By Joy.

"Burning Supertramp records", LOL!

It isn't "waking up "exactly, it was that God revealed the Son on that ride to his mind and soul. Matt.11:25-27

Greco-Roman education was infused with Classical models of human behavior. Plato be damned ;-)
