Reflections of Beliefs in Mythology and Ancient Civilizations on the Discovery of Hypnotic and Oneirogenic Drugs Related to Sleep, Euthanasia, Dream and Lucid Dream

Year 2026, Volume: 3 Issue: 1, - , 31.01.2026

Abstract

This study examines the reflections of ancient civilizations, particularly Greek mythology, on central nervous system drugs. It focuses on the impact of symbolic figures such as Nyx (Goddess of Night), and her parthenogenetic offspring: Hypnos (God of Sleep), Thanatos (God of Death), the Oneiroi (Morpheus, Phobetor, and Phantasos), and Morpheus (God of Dreams and Imagination). This research aims to reveal overlooked connections between these mythological figures, ancient traditions, and the development of contemporary drugs related to sleep, euthanasia, dream, and lucid dream, all of which target the central nervous system. It also includes the possible reflections of other ancient civilizations across continents on these therapeutic medicines.

Principles of Publication Ethics
Publication Ethics can be defined as a self-regulatory mechanism that insists on honesty on the part of authors, reviewers and publishers to establish higher standards of editorial processing. Ethical standards for publication exist to ensure high-quality scientific publications, public confidence in scientific findings, and respect for people's opinions.
• Honest researchers do not plagiarize.
• Does not cite sources incorrectly.
• They do not hide objections that they cannot refute.
• They do not distort opposing views.
• They do not destroy or hide data.

Peer-reviewed studies are studies that support and implement the scientific method. At this point, it is of great importance that all parties involved in the publication process (authors, readers and researchers, publisher, referees and editors) comply with ethical principles. Hitit Journal of Science adheres to national and international standards on research and publication ethics. It complies with the Press Law, the Law on Intellectual and Artistic Works and the Directive on Scientific Research and Publication Ethics for Higher Education Institutions. Hitit Journal of Science has adopted the International Ethical Publishing Principles published by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA) and World Association of Medical Editors (WAME). In addition, Türkiye undertakes to comply with the Decisions of the Editors' Workshop.
• Press Law (National Legislation)
• Law on Intellectual and Artistic Works (National Legislation)
• Higher Education Institutions Scientific Research and Publication Ethics Directive (National Legislation)
• Transparency and Best Practice Principles in Academic Publishing (International Criteria)
• Türkiye Editors' Workshop Decisions (National Criteria)

Rebroadcast
Republication is the publication of the same article or substantially similar articles in more than one journal. The editor sends such article back without reviewing it. After this, the editor may impose an embargo for a certain period of time on the author who attempts to re-publish, may announce this situation to the public in the journal in which the author has previously published (perhaps as a simultaneous announcement with the editor of the journal that published the previous article), or may apply all of these measures together.

Simultaneous submission of the same study to more than one journal
Authors cannot submit the same article to more than one journal at the same time. If the editor learns of possible simultaneous submission, he reserves the right to consult with the other editor(s) receiving the manuscript. In addition, the editor may return the article without reviewing it or reject it without taking the reviews into account, or may make this decision by discussing it with other relevant editor(s) and may decide not to accept article applications from authors for a certain period of time. They can also write to the authors' employers or implement all of these measures together.

Control to Prevent Plagiarism
It is presenting the ideas, methods, data, applications, writings, figures or works of others as one's own work, in whole or in part, without attributing them to their owners in accordance with scientific rules.
Hitit Journal of Science scans all submitted articles to prevent plagiarism. The works submitted for review are checked for plagiarism using Turnitin & Ithenticate software. The similarity rate is expected to be less than 20%. The main criterion in the similarity rate is that the author complies with the rules of citation and quotation. Even though the similarity rate appears to be 1%, if citation and quotation are not made properly, plagiarism may still occur. In this respect, citation and quotation rules should be known by the author and applied carefully: ISNAD
Plagiarism, duplication, false authorship/denied authorship, research/data fabrication, article slicing, publication by slicing, copyright infringement and hiding conflict of interest are considered unethical behavior. All articles that do not comply with accepted ethical standards are removed from publication. This includes articles containing possible irregularities or improprieties detected after publication.

Forgery
Producing data that is not based on research, editing or changing the presented or published work based on unreal data, reporting or publishing them, and presenting a research that has not been done as if it has been done.
Falsifying research records and obtained data, presenting methods, devices and materials that were not used in the research as if they were used, not taking into consideration data that do not comply with the research hypothesis, tampering with data and/or results to fit the relevant theory or assumptions, using research results in line with the interests of the people and organizations receiving support. To distort or shape.

Protection of Participants' Personal Data
Hittite Journal of Science requires that all research involving personal or sensitive data or material regarding human participants that is not legally available to the public be subject to formal ethical review.
