It can be argues that telling myth is one of the most important thing humans can do. Every one in every culture in any time has a myth to tell. Put all the stories or myth together you get the subject of "mythology". These stories are usually about heroes, gods, monsters, and other forces of nature.

But the Greeks only one flaw in these great stories, they did not keep there myths consistent. You could read one myth and go read another one about the same thing and it is totally different. The Greeks weren't really looking for the answer more like an answer.

There is one myth they did keep consistent, the creation myth. And that was not pretty businesses. Because of all the nastiness between the humans and the gods the gods and themselves, according to the Greeks. It was all about getting and keeping the upper hand.
