Greek Mythology

What is Mythology? o Long ago, people had a hard time explaining what was happening around them. o There were no scientists or teachers to explain why things happened - like why we have 4 seasons, for example. o They made up their own stories to explain why and how things worked. o These stories are called MYTHS.

Types of Myths V Explanatory Myths: Myths that answer natural questions about natural objects. V Aesthetic Myths: Myths that have no purpose except to entertain.

Why Study Mythology? We study mythology because it is the religion, the science, and the literature of people from the past.
