Women and Stoicism.

On today's episode we are looking at stoic acceptance of the natural order of things, andwe are referring to the Greek myth – Persephone and the pomegranate seeds.

Greek mythology wasn't created by a single person or as a conscious piece of fiction.Instead, it evolved as an oral tradition over centuries,

These stories served several vital purposes in ancient society: to interpret the environment and recurring phenomena.

We’ve spoken about adopting good habits before – the repetition of good practise, our dailysteps forward in the maintenance of our higher selves.
