Abstract

Myths are reflective of human concerns and needs during ancient times. By reviewing them, it turns out that many human problems today, have a historical background. Among the main themes of ancient mythologies, FERTILITY and reproduction have various representations in ancient civilizations. The purpose of this paper was to review myths and common symbols of FERTILITY and reproduction in ancient civilizations and evaluate the reasons of their continuous importance in different CULTUREs. The data in this review study was obtained by scrutinizing the related literature. The gathered data indicated the multiplicity and variety of FERTILITY symbols in ancient myths. Most ancient FERTILITY symbols were inspired by the nature and some of them like earth and water were common in MYTHOLOGY of different civilizations. Therefore, the symbols consolidate the concept of conformity between human reproductive concerns and the nature’s necessities.
