Yep. Any Aryan picture, we see swords, spears, shields and armor. War is a value of ours.
reminds me of william blake
I have a question on a tangentially related theme – namely, the importance of art and myth to the formation of cultural values.
It has been said that mythology is a kind of filing-system that gives a framework to experience:
Lincoln, Bruce (2006). “An Early Moment in the Discourse of “Terrorism”: Reflections on a Tale from Marco Polo”. Comparative Studies in Society and History 48 (2): 242-259. “More precisely, mythic discourse deals in master categories that have multiple referents: levels of the cosmos, terrestrial geographies, plant and animal species, logical categories, and the like. Their plots serve to organize the relations among these categories and to justify a hierarchy among them, establishing the rightness (or at least the necessity) of a world in which heaven is above earth, the lion the king of beasts, the cooked more pleasing than the raw.”
If a culture’s myth celebrate (e.g.) Kinsey and Gloria Steinem, then the men of that culture are not likely to be fathers. But if a culture’s myths celebrate (e.g.) Frank and Lilian Gilbreth, then the men of that culture are likely to raise large families.
I am not much of an artist, but I am disgusted by bad art. How can modern men re-make art to form a less dysfunctional myth and a more survivable culture?
