'gods' who feed us with the myth that their products, creams,serums, Botox and cosmetic surgery can prevent us from ageing.
Cosmetics, Serum and Surgeon which are Greek in origin are pertaining to the myth of Hebe, the Greek Goddess of Youth, which promises youth. All beauty products which are called Cosmetics have their origin in the Greek word Kosmetike which means to dress, arrange, improve, to improve one’s appearance. This is linked to the longing to stay young ie HEBE; the Greek Goddess of youth. I have spelt cosmetics KOSmetics as a play on words because Kos is a Greek Island, also cosmetics originates from the Greek work Kosmetike. I could have called it HEBE, but I liked the humour and double play of the word KOSmeticos The goddess Persephone, Queen of the Underworld, Persephone's famous youth serum/beauty ointment. Did you know Girls as young as 12 in France start using anti-ageing creams in the belief that it will stop them showing the signs of ageing!
