The Gaia, Medea and Cronus Hypotheses : classical reception in Earth system science
P. 440-459
- In this paper, I examine how Greek myths are being used as metaphors for evolutionary processes in the Gaia, Medea and Cronus hypotheses. First, I consider the extended use of Classical metaphors in scientific terminology in general. Then, I deal with each of the hypotheses separately. I concentrate on the inspiration of each of the authors andaddress if and how they have generated new meanings in scientific and popular discourse. Through these hypotheses, we see Greek myth providing an explanation for life mechanisms. And, perhaps more importantly, we see Classics helping to raise awareness of environmental issues.
