About

In a world that is increasingly losing its appreciation for the humanities, Myths for Modernity remains fascinated by the Classical past and is a dedicated space for like-minded individuals who are curious about all things ancient.

The project began in 2025, founded by a PhD researcher in Classical Archaeology who wanted to make the most intriguing ideas from his research accessible to a wider audience. Our foundational belief is that the past is not dead—it’s in constant, vital contact with the present and essential in shaping our future.

From ancient to modern and beyond.

We don’t treat the past as a closed chapter. Instead, we see it as a living world that informs our present and helps chart the future. That perspective fuels everything published here.

Myths for Modernity is dedicated to human creativity and rigorous thought. In an age of automated content, every piece on this platform reflects genuine research, careful writing, and a respect for sources.
