Greek Mythology and Literature The Big Idea The ancient Greeks created great myths and works of literature that influence the way we speak and write today.

Instead of scientific explanations, the Greeks used mythology to explain things. Mythology is stories about gods and heroes that try to explain how the world works. The Greeks believed gods caused things like volcanic eruptions and the changing seasons. To keep the gods happy, they built great temples. The Greeks expected help when they needed it in return.

Greek Myths One of the most famous myths was about Medusa Medusa was a monstrous woman, with snakes for hair, who would turn anyone who looked at her into stone

Heroes in Mythology Many Greek myths told about the adventures of great heroes. Some heroes were real, while others were not. Some of the major heroes were Theseus, Jason, and Hercules. Theseus traveled to Crete and killed the minotaur, a half-human, half-bull monster. Jason sailed across the seas in search of great treasure. Hercules was the most famous hero. He fought many monsters and performed nearly impossible tasks.

Among the earliest Greek writings are two epic poems, the Iliad and the Odyssey by Homer. The Iliad tells the story of the last years of the Trojan War. The Odyssey describes the challenges that Odysseus faced on his way home from the war.

Fables Other Greeks told short stories that taught the reader lessons about life These stories were called fables Aesop is famous for writing fables such as “The Tortoise and the Hare” and “The Boy Who Cried Wolf”

Assignment The Greeks worshipped their gods because they thought the gods would help them out in times of need. For example, if you were a sailor and you were about to go on a long voyage, you would pray to Poseidon (the god of the sea) for a safe trip.
