Ancient Greece and contains stories about either Gods or Heroes, the nature of
the world, and the origin and meaning of the rituals and worship practices of the
Ancient Greeks. Greek mythology is a part of Religion in Ancient Greece. Modern
historians study Greek mythology in order to understand the state of politics,
religion, and civilization in Ancient Greece, and to understand the understanding of
the mythical message itself. Most of the Greek gods were depicted as human, born
but immortal, immune to anything, not only invisible, each god had its own
characteristics. Therefore, the gods also had a designation for each character,
which could be more than one. These gods sometimes help humans, but also form
love relationships with humans that produce children, both of whom are half-
human and demigod. These children are known as heroes. “Greek mythology is
embodied in a collection of stories and works of ancient Greek art, such as painting
vases and ritual objects for gods. Greek mythology explains the origin of the world
and tells of the lives and adventures of various gods, goddesses, heroes and
mythological creatures. Greek mythology was originally transmitted through oral
traditions. Today most of the information regarding Greek mythology comes from
Greek literature.
