Cosmogony is the academic study of the origins of the universe and the solar system, within spiritual and cultural beliefs, in addition to scientific enquiry. Early civilisations had formed various beliefs on the origins of the Earth, humankind, and the wider universe. What did the Ancient Greeks think of their origins, their deities, and the cosmos? In this talk, I will introduce to how the Ancient Greeks believe things came into being, their mythology and their names for stars and constellations.
Age requirement - ages 16+ years old due to mature content. Children under 16 (including infants) will not be admitted into the Planetarium.
