| | In Greek mythology, the gods in the pantheon are given human form, but are first and foremost personifications of the forces of the universe. | | | Greek mythology continues to be an important cultural reference long after the Greek_religion with which it was entwined ceased to be practiced. | | | Literature posed a harder problem to the Christians; it would be impossible to erase the influence of Greek mythology there without casting aside the ''Iliad'' and the other works of Homer, Theocritus, Vergil, Ovid, and hundreds of other authors that none but a few zealots were willing to cast aside. |
