An introduction to greek mythology
Of all the myths of gods and heroes, the tales of the ancient Greeks still seem as fresh as when Homer first sang of Troy, when people spoke in whispers about the misfortunes of Midas and when young warriors were inspired by the actions of Heracles. It was a time when, dwelling in their crystal palaces atop Mount Olympus, the immortal gods were often said to meddle in the affairs of ordinary human beings. Of course, now not many people believe in these kind of gods and there are many more religions now than there were back in the time of the Ancient Greeks.
