Tiresias – Unusual Prophet Who Turned Into A Woman For Seven Years

Ellen Lloyd - AncientPages.com - Some prophets captivate us because they are shrouded in a veil of mystery. There are also those who are interesting due to their curious experiences.

Tiresias was an unusual prophet who was not only compelled to turn into a woman for seven years but also struck blind. His story is remarkable, and some suggest there is a deeper meaning to the tale that should teach us a lesson.

In Greek mythology, we often encounter very emotional stories about love, vengeance, desires, jealousy, and betrayal. Greek myths are filled with fascinating characters who involve themselves in acts of passion and heroism. The line between gods and mortals is often very thin. It is by no means uncommon for ancient Greek gods and goddesses to behave like mortal humans. In the same way, it’s not surprising to find stories about mortals who attempt to be just as powerful as gods.

These dramatic ancient Greek tales have inspired many authors, who produced works that we can still enjoy.
