Do we seal in meats or can science and philosophy explain everything? Perhaps they help us to understand that things are more complex than we think they are. Myth plays a fundamental role in the ancient Greek tradition and culture. The narratives were not limited to a mere description of fantastic tales, but took on real pedagogical purposes. Mythology was included within the idea approach to education, which also included gymnastics, grammar, rhetoric, music, mathematics, geography, natural history, and philosophy. Mythology cannot be considered in isolation, but must also be interpreted alongside archaeological and historical evidence. From myth, taking an interdisciplinary approach, hypothesis supported by scientifically, valid data can be advanced. From the trojan war, the great legend of the return journey, Nostoy begins. With the narratives of the challenges that the heroes, of war face returning to their homeland. Perhaps these narratives are typical of the diaspora of the mycenaeumineon civilization who after the destruction of thera, Santorini, had settled on the western shores of the Mediterranean Sea. The mythological tale of the first exploration of the Mediterranean, told in fictional form and charged with symbolism, was a driving force behind all the subsequent migrations from Greece to the West, which led to the founding of Magna Gretcha. According to classical tradition, thrace was the homeland of Dionysus, and so of wine. This primeogenic tour played an important role in the history of wine both in Reese and Magna Ketchup and Sicily as well as in the spread of certain grape varieties, and the types of wines that were imitated. This can be inferred from the countless literary sources, including the Elliot, where it is reported at Agemannon, offers the ATM leaders under the walls of Troy, wine from Thray's, specifically from the city of Misso. In the Odyssey, the red wine that Adysseus offers to poly famous is a wine that comes from Ismato. Illocality in thrace. An ancient y name Bibrino was an object of Finishing trade and identified in classical times with the polio of cyberqueuse. The beginning, at least in literary terms of the viticultural history of the Mediterranean West, is contained in canto ninth of the Odyssey, where the description of the island of cyclops and polyphemus getting drunk, it is understood that there were two viticultural regions in the Mediterranean. While located in a distant part, which produced strong and dark wines, like the wine from Ismara, which gets polyphenylous trunk because it was not used to such alcoholic wines and another represented by the island of cyclops where the people plan nothing with their own hands nor plough, but all these things spring up from them without sowing or ploughing, wheat, and barley, and vines, which bear to reach clusters of wine, and the rain of zeus, gave salmon trees from the Odyssey. This clearly describes the characteristics of wild grapes subjected to primitive cultivation. Homer's account is therefore an important document. The first in chronological terms for understanding how the myth of wine and the subsequent conservation of grape vines spread across the Mediterranean. The role played by the sagas of the founding heroes and the return voyages in the Greek colonization of the Mediterranean also takes on the value of a metaphor that of the quick existence, sometimes in just a position of the two models of beauty culture that have survived to this day in many parts of Italy. In fact, the expression of very different cultures, which use quite distinct grape varieties and forms of cultivation to produce wines are still easily distinguishable in Italy today. Ancient varietal circulation and anthropological hypothesis. The original vines is important and a symbolic factor in how we think about the wine of a particular area. Mess ultimately becomes a methodological tool for conceptualizing the problem as it allows the story of a group of people to be transferred into the present time in a tangible way. For a given type of why the myth of origin or domestication makes it possible to explain to Genesis evolution and originality of production. The contributions of historical anthropology contributes significantly to the understanding of the relationships between the spread of new viticultural techniques and the economic and social structures of an ancient population. It is a journey to European and near eastern civilization where mythological imagery combines physical place with symbolic space and the name of wine and place become vehicles for calling other images to mind. Just think of the evocative power of chaos the island where man planted the first vine or area, a place in Arcadia where vine, wine, excited man, and made women fertile. The history of Viticulture is ultimately a history of wine consumption, of habits, first mental, then elementary, or ritual. The cultivation of a great variety or a cultivation technique on the other hand reflects a system of representations of the world that connects, them in-depth. To more elaborate mental formulations to an unconscious of myth and religion. The juxtaposition of culture and materiality masterfully described by the French anthropologist Clod Levi strauss defines the relationship between the material manifestations of human life and the context of the techniques that are underlying the production of goods. This relationship punctuates the chronology of events that mark the introduction of new methods into ancient wine production, improving productivity, the new wines, wine making, the wine press to complement the transportation using tard, and for a instead of leather wineskins, storability, pine, and terabens, resins, and withering. The imagination that defines agriculture consists of a set of characteristics that transcend the limit imposed by the data of experience and the conclusion strong from them. Imagination, is a dimension of curiosity about horizons far away in time and space of restlessness and anguish inspired by the unknowns of the future of attention to dreams and questions about death. Mess and imagination coincide in the Greek world. In the voyages of Addisus and those of UBM imitators, the power of the imaginary contributed to other men, not Greek, but barbarian, sharing the evocative power of wine. One can imagine that the homeric task reflects the production of a wine in the places mentioned in the Apos of the Odyssey and the Iranian coast, the Gulf of Naples. Alden Islands and North Eastern Sicily. A part of Lukania and Pulia was already called land of wine or rather land of vine steaks in Austria showing that wine production in these areas exists prior to the founding of the cities featured in the Greek epics. The name in Altria, the Greek settlers called southern Italy following to their first landings in the eighth century BC referred to the use of a wooden stake to support the vegetation of the vine, oinotron, meaning vine pole. This testified to an original mode of cultivation compared to that prevalent in the places they had left. In which the vine was left to crawl along the ground.

With distinct characteristics involving both productive and social transformation. It was a slow but continuous process of change as it generally decays in agricultural and demographic revolutions. Toward the end of the twelfth century BC, the Messenian civilization collapsed. The colonial movement of the Greeks to the West arose from poverty and hunger in those regions. Caused by the demographic pressure brought by the persons and accompanied by a scarcity of land and famine caused by a lack of rain. Greek had a chronic shortage of rain, which become more pronounced during the so called Greek Middle Ages. There was also the need for raw materials for industry iron above all, and a search for new commercial outlets for Greece's staple products. Oil, wine, and ceramics. The Apoikia, which in Greek means the relocation of a community from one place to another implies the abandonment of one's home and defies the birth of numerous Greek colonies in the west. It can be distinguished from this term, which refers to a particle or a trading colony. To these two developments is that at a third, that of a chora, which refers to the territory surrounding the colony, which will determine the nature and productive purpose of the colony itself. Although, there is a commercial and political relationship between Apoikia and Emporion, there are cases of so called landless cities in which trade was the only resource as they had no hinterland capable of supporting their inhabitants. Naples, according to Stravo, the great geographer, philosopher, and historian, and Adria and Espina of the Paul Delta fell into this category. This ancient settlers carried with them on their journey, a handful of dried grapes, and a handful of their native soil, the ember of the sacred fire they had drawn on the acropolis of their mother city in the hope of lighting a fresh earth somewhere in the new world. In Italy, at this time, the attritional civilization was experiencing exceptional growth, thanks to the exploitation of the metals of Elba. Tolphe and Alumier. Trade was largely in the hands of the phoenicians who had taken full advantage of their settlement in the immense asylum Empire. An artistic style known as or rentalizing was destined for trade commercial success, as well as emblematic wines such as Bibrino, textiles, armor, and pottery. There have traditionally been three routes of entry, a wine culture, and as of great varieties grown in Western Europe. The oldest established in twenty three hundred BC was from Egypt through Creed, from the Gulf of Alexandria to Cyprus. The second from the eighth to the second century BC was from southern Italy, Fossean, colonies in France, Spain, and the upper Adriatic. Finally, from land via the routes that have connected since the neolithic period, the east to the west, that coincide with the present border lines between Italy and Slovenia and between Durs, and Brindisi along the via Ignacio. Transbalcon circulation via the land and water routes of the river courses was another alternative to the Mediterranean Sea routes used for the transfer of large numbers of people for the employment opportunities of artisans and to avoid the risk of pirates. The Danube represents the real backbone of the Balkan Transportation system, along which several major European capitals develop and from which two routes started, one to the northwest leading through Vienna and Berlin and another to the east leading to Bucharest and Odessa. The network of routes thickens along these routes onto which the Belgrade in Stumble Road and the Sarajevo road were grafted. The Via Ignacio holds special significance for the varietal circulation of fines as it is connected to Italy, viadors and thessaloniki, gay Stumble, and Transcaucasia.
