Since the beginning of time, humanity has demonstrated a constant and profound preoccupation with the subject of fertility. Myths and rites, both ideological and formal, originated in the earliest periods of prehistory. From the most basic concepts, intimately linked to nature, we arrive at images that perfectly combine cosmogony and theogony. We see this in the different Mediterranean and eastern cultures, and also in those cultures most representative of European classicism (Greece and Rome). There are always, however, clear references to the earliest roots of prehistory (the Mother God), pivot and support for the whole subsequent evolutionary process.

Names change, attributes become more specific (a logical consequence of the growth process of a never-pruned genealogical tree) and the subjects and representations even become trivialized. The divine and the human lose definition and they blend into an almost epic iconographic amalgam of religious invocation and exaltation of the senses. The Mediterranean becomes the generator and binding element in a process that will result in the formation of cultures that, despite their diversity, have important similarities. This is not surprising if we remember the roots and trunk common to them all.

From this time, archaeology clearly reflects the development of complex mythologies, rites and beliefs around the subject of fertility. We witness the sublimation of the myths that, nevertheless, do not abandon their intimate connections with the most profound forces of nature. On the contrary, they reinforce their integration in the officialized mythology: earth, water, fire, forests, etc.
