Have you ever taken the time to think about how relatable different Gods are in different cultures? Many of them can be referred back to time of the Roman/ Greek Gods and Goddesses and even see a resemblance in the Indian Devas. In the Hindu mythology, the battle between Gods and Asuras (demons) comes down to the source of good and evil. This is similar to the fact that Greek mythology wages between life and death, which is played out by the Gods and the Titans (evil).
Story Topic One
Topic one will talk about how both mythologies served a similar plot line between the Hindu Krishna and Kamsa and the Greek Kronos and Zeus. I believe this will be a great story telling piece as it ties similar morals and follow the same pattern, thus making the two topics highly relatable.
Story Topic Two
For topic two I decided to be more specific and isolate into two specific characters of Zeus, The Greek God of Thunder and Indra, The God of Thunder in Hindu mythology. They both share the symbolic thunder and high respect and role. Fun Fact: Both are worshipped on Thursdays.
Story Topic Three
In topic three I wanted to stream out a little and focus on a topic that will bring more resemblance between the two mythologies. I wanted to compare the Holy Trinity and The Greek Trinity. This includes Zeus (Skies), Poseidon (Seas), and Hades (Underworld) for Greek mythology. In Hindu mythology, the Supreme Gods consist of Brahma (Creation), Vishnu (Protector), and Shiva (Destroyer).
