Greek Mythology: A Concise Guide to Ancient Gods, Heroes, Beliefs and Myths of Greek Mythology
Greek Mythology: A Concise Guide to Ancient Gods, Heroes, Beliefs and Myths of Greek Mythology | Hourly History
3 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
Greek Mythology is an enormous field of study and a brief guide is a daunting task for any writer. The myths have a way of entwining one with another, and it is difficult to present a coherent story line without feeling one has omitted the best part of the story. Inside you will read about... - What Is A Myth? - The Sources Of Greek Mythology - The Creation Of The Universe And The Gods - What Of Man? What Of Woman? - The Greek Pantheon - The Trojan War - The Influence Of Greek Drama - Two Greek Mortal Heroes In Mythological Tales This guide succeeds in presenting an overall sketch of the creation of the world and the battles that follow, resulting in Zeus taking his place as the supreme god and ruling the earth from Mount Olympus. It covers the creation of man, it seems, as a bit of an afterthought for the amusement of the Olympians and some of the most famous stories that have come down to us via the writings of the great dramatists of the Classical Age. There are concise biographies of the twelve gods that make up the Olympians as well as of the heroes of the Trojan War.

I was once waiting for a class to start sitting in the hall reading a book. It wasn't this book but it was something with a similar name. Something like Greek Mythology or History of the Roman Empire or something to that effect. A guy asked what I was reading. I held up the cover. He asked what it was about......I made the face you are making now. :/ #greekmythology #romanhistory #greekhistory #dumbquestions #pleasejustletmeread #pleasegoaway

I-read-and-eat It's obviously about Victorian Herbal Medicine... I can't believe he still asked 8y
gibblr I find it worse when someone (usually my husband) walks in on me reading and asks what I'm doing. Really?!? 8y
Vexingcircumstance @gibblr anytime anyone asks me what I'm doing when I'm doing something obvious I always give a sarcastic answer. "Wrangling rabid howler monkeys" "juggling piranha, obviously" "practicing for the national naked yodeling contest in Bulgaria next year". 8y
gibblr Yes! I give an obviously wrong answer, but never that ridiculous. Must start! 8y
