Ancient Greek mythology is a vast and
fascinating group of legends about gods and
goddesses ,heroes and
heroes ,warriors and fools , that
were an important part of everyday life in the ancient world. Greek
myths explained everything from religious rituals to the weather, and
gave meaning to the world that people saw around them.
While many of these myths are fanciful tales, such as the legends of
greedy King Midas or heroic Hercules, other stories like the Trojan War
epic have a basis in historical fact.
