An introductory exploration of 'The Golden Age of Saturn' in ancient Greek and Latin literature. This video delves into the popular mythological concept that symbolized a period of peace, prosperity, and harmony before the advent of agriculture, war, and civilization. From Hesiod's vivid descriptions in "Works and Days" to Virgil's pastoral poetry in the "Eclogues," we examine how this theme has been depicted by various classical authors.
