From Greece to Rome, from Egypt to India, philosophy is bound by that single thread of knowledge that uses ‘mythos’ and ‘logos’ to describe the ‘cosmos’. Mythos is Mythology that each of these civilisations extravagantly boast of and logos is using logic besides mythology, to make sense of cosmos or the world. How are the cults of Dionysus and Orpheus related? If Apollo is the Sun God in the Greek Mythology, Phoebus in Rome and Surya in the Indian myths, why do the Egyptians have three different sun gods? Do these questions intrigue you? If yes, do tune into Cosmographia now!

Apollo: The Defeatist Romantic
Apollo, the most handsome of all the gods that reside at Olympus, in a strike by Cupid’s arrow embraced Daphne, a mortal princess and the daughter of river god Peneus as his soulmate. He wandered to faraway lands, chasing the maiden wherever she went, and tried hard in fulfilling his objective. Howbeit, it was soon crystal clear that Daphne was destined to be a virgin and Apollo could do nothing other than boast of his regal, godly identity and try to win her over. Did he ultimately succeed in making Daphne his bride or did this romantic affair remain single sided forever? Listen to Episode 2 of Cosmographia: The Graeco Romans, the Egyptians and Us to know the classical truth in the form of a pleasant verse, written down by Ovid millennia ago and translated by A.D. Melville, in the Metamorphoses (Oxford World Classics Series).
