In ancient Greece, the mortals were fascinated by the gods and goddesses. They looked up to the gods as their savior. They tell stories of the gods for entertainment purposes or to explain things.
Many of our English words were derived from the Greek myths or other meanings were taken from the Greeks. I hope you find the myths as interesting and fascinating as I did.
