(John) The Queen of the Air: Being a Study of the Greek Myths of Cloud and Storm E-text prepared by Julie C. Sparks HTML file produced by David Widger "The Queen of the Air: Being a Study of the Greek Myths of Cloud and Storm" by John Ruskin is a scholarly exploration written in the late 19th century. In this work, Ruskin delves into Greek mythology, particularly focusing on the myths that involve natural phenomena such as storms and clouds. The text sets the stage for an examination of the character of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and how she embodies elements of the skies and intellect, weaving together both mythological and philosophical themes. The opening of the work provides a profound preface where Ruskin expresses his dedication to exploring the philosophical dimensions of Greek mythology while acknowledging the limitations and imperfections of his own insights. He sets a reflective tone about the connections between ancient beliefs and modern scientific understanding, illustrating how the myths encapsulated essential truths about nature. In this first section, he hints at the structure of the work, which will include discussions on Athena as a powerful figure across various realms—sky, earth, and the human spirit—thus laying a foundation for interpreting the broader implications of these myths in both ancient and contemporary contexts. Each subsequent chapter promises to unravel the deeper meanings hidden in mythological narratives, signaling an engagement with both ethical and aesthetic dimensions of mythology that resonate through time.
