VIDEO GAMES- A TELLY TUBE OF ERROS INSPIRATION part 2


Greek/Roman mythology has exerted an extensive influence on man's culture, the arts, the literature and remains part of our heritage and language. Poets and artists from ancient times to the present have derived inspiration from Greco-Roman mythology and have discovered contemporary significance and relevance in these mythological themes. Arguably, creators of video games who adapted mythology as a backdrop to the development of their heroic characters, refer themselves as modern scholars attempting to explain the origins of the world, the succession of divine rulers, the succession of human ages, the origin of human woes, and the origin of sacrificial practices. Evidently, in the ''God of War” series, they empower the third person camera gamer, to control the character Kratos in a combination of combat, platforming and puzzle game elements as he battles his way through the underworld. “ When I made my MLWG collection,”Erros related, “ I likened myself just like any other video player, to imaginably navigate through a long series of tests, trials and mazes to reach my ultimate goal of creating a cohesive collection faithful to the historical aspirations of ancient Greek/Roman artists yet unmistakably relevant to the modern times.” On the face of it, Erros' MLWG collection, in time, maybe considered an artwork - a purposeful and creative interpretations of limitless concepts or ideas in order to communicate something to another person, as it definitely adheres to the consummate artist's aesthetic sensibilities to draw the audience towards consideration of the finer things and style that is founded on the very basic fundamentals of insight and on the innermost character of things.
