Welcome to the World of
Greek Mythology



By Christina Anderson


Imagine yourself in a time before Nintendo and Sega. Picture yourself living in ancient Greece with no TV, car, or the technologies of science, and having no understanding of the cause of natural phenomena that science has answered today. How would you begin to explain to a civilization of people who lived close to nature why the sky is blue or where rain comes from?

Greek mythology provides a fascinating background to Greek history and how the ancient Greeks saw the world. Greek mythology incorporates elaborate stories of historical events in which humans become god-like and do things no other humans can do.
