Mythos. Icarus’ tragic journey. Hippolytus and the golden apples. Hercules: Man or God? When we think about our past, the identities of our different cultures, and the legacies we leave—we realize they are all accomplished through one act: storytelling. Mythos is about just that: stories, themes, recurring patterns, the fabric of our humanity. Myths traverse the line between fantasy and reality, because while Greek mythology and ancient folktales might speak about Gods and magic, myths and stories still serve a distinct purpose for us. They ponder the fear of the unknown, ask questions about the trajectory of society, and most importantly—spread ideas that can begin new narratives. This year, we ask you to join TEDx Santa Clara University and the Ignatian Center as we present a line-up of student and guest speakers to tell their stories—and the stories of others. See you there!
