Introduction to Body Language in Mythology
In many myths, gods, heroes, and creatures express their emotions and intentions through gestures, postures, and facial expressions. For example, Zeus might raise his thunderbolt to show anger or command respect, while Athena might gesture with her hand to offer wisdom or guidance. These non-verbal cues help storytellers and audiences understand the characters' feelings and motives without words. Body language can include posture, facial expressions, eye contact, and gestures, all of which add depth to the story of mythological figures.
