GREEK MYTHOLOGY

THE GODS OF GREECE To the Greeks, the gods were not distant beings. They became involved in people’s lives, and the Greeks loved to tell stories about them. These vivid tales showed that the gods were sometimes cruel and selfish. The Greek gods had both divine and human qualities. For example, they were very powerful and could shape human events. Yet they had a wide range of human emotions, including love, anger, and jealousy. The gods and goddesses of Greece constantly competed with one another.

Mount Olympus Mount Olympus has an elevation of 9,573 feet and is the tallest mountain in Greece. By contrast, Mt. Everest, the tallest mountain in the world, stands at 29,029 feet.

Today, Prometheus is seen as a hero who defied unjust authority. MYTHOLOGY Myths are stories that people tell to explain beliefs about their world. Myths often begin as oral stories. Later they might be written down. The Greeks created myths to explain the creation of the world and of human beings. Many myths described the gods and goddesses and how they related to one another and to humans. For example, the myth of Prometheus tells how he stole fire from the gods and gave it to humans. Zeus punished him for this by chaining him to a rock. Every day, an eagle ate his liver, which grew back every night. Today, Prometheus is seen as a hero who defied unjust authority. Yes….this is exactly what you think. Prometheus bringing fire to the humans. WHAT CAUSES ECHOS TO HAPPEN? http://safeshare.tv/v/ss568bd3240726d Narcissus and Echo Myth
