THE people of Ancient Greece shared stories with each other that were passed down from generation to generation. These stories are called myths and together they form the mythology of the Ancient Greeks. These tales revolved around gods, goddesses and heroes who often became involved in the lives of mortals. Sometimes they aided humans, but at other times they were troublesome. Myths often teach us lessons about the importance of courage, the value of intelligence and the difference between right and wrong.
Greek mythology was also a way for people to make sense of the world around them and anything extraordinary
