Mythological evolution

During the read of Philosophy of art of Friedrich Schelling(1775-1854), the references to mythology are very frequent, and the read certainly is impassion but left the emotive character of this lecture, after takes the pace of rational considerations, the first is the Greek have took from reality and they, during the centuries, have transformed these real habits to mythological nature; but we can also think that they were aware that the time from far time was pasted, and we can deduce it from The theogony of Esiod; in fact he regard the birth of Titans describes: “But after she(Gea, the earth) met to Uranus(the sky), she gives birth to Ceo, the titan of intellect, this is ancestor of Athena, born from brain of Jupiter and goddess of intelligence; and it is the certain proof of this think, because if a minor god of intelligence is, why contrive other divinity? Simple, two explications we can give, the first is because the titans are all prisoners in Tartars, this is the reign of death, that in Christian era become the hell; but evidently the Ceo has been the union between physical strong and the intelligence, instead the Athena is alone the intelligence; hence the predominance of rationality and intellectual acumen the Greek were conscious, that the evolution from ancient time there had been. Athena is goddess of intelligence alone, instead  the physical strong is Hercules. Creos other titan that managed the harmony among the stars, but we must consider a characteristic of this titan, it is the old age; in fact he is one of older, and it is very meaningful, because the old age is bond, also in ancient time, to wisdom, and he, I repeat, managed the movements of dance of stars; this is an important duty and to this responsibility is necessary the wisdom. The other titan is Hyperion, titan that has duty of managed the light of sun, that after the evolution is become the Apollo. Other titan is Iapetus the is identified as grandfather of mankind because he has had two sons Prometheus and Epimetheus, the first has generated the men and the second has managed the evolution of men; but we can consider that after the flood wanted from Zeus, and extinction of mankind; it is a record of original sin of Hebrew Genesis, although that creation of mankind was present also in Assyrian mythology, very much far from Genesis of Holy Bible. The Rhea a woman titan, or titanide, the is considered the mother of goods, the first Jupiter, that she hided to hers husband Kronos, in human nature this is the time, that after was chained from Zeus after the war between the gods and titans; it is alone the human representation of time that is stopped, therefore the gods are deathless, other titanide was Themis, the first wife of Zeus, she managed the order and justice, that after was put besides from Dike, hers daughter, that is evolution of Themis , and finally the Mnemosyne, mother of nine Muses, this is arts. These very cold listing, is important because represents the selection of duties, that are noblest and that after has guaranteed the evolution, regard to law, to arts, to wisdom of Greek people; thereby we can think that the selection among the wicked titans and good titans has represented the evolution of customs of Greek civility, and therefore the past is icastically represented from the wicked titans, the past is of hell titans but the evolution is to new gods side by side to god titans.
