In this video I explain the mythology of Pherecydes of Syros and show how it anticipates many later developments in Greek philosophy. Pherecydes articulates a concern for finding a first principle or Arche, an ethical conception of the gods, a concept of a demiurge, and a doctrine of the immortality of the soul. In the process of examining his work, I show how the common cliche stipulating that the roots of Greek philosophy lie in demythologization is misguided, and that the roots of philosophy are actually grounded in myth.
