Different mythologies portray the cycle of life and death through various narratives and symbolism. Many cultures, such as the Greeks, Egyptians, and Hindus, view death as a transition rather than an end. Myths often depict the journey of the soul after death, including the afterlife realms like the Greek Hades or the Egyptian Duat. This cyclical view is reinforced by themes of rebirth in nature, like the changing seasons, illustrating the perpetual balance between life and death that defines existence.
