| | Greek mythology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Greek mythology consists of a large collection of narratives that explain the origins of the world and detail the lives and adventures of a wide variety of gods, goddesses, heroes, and heroines. | | | Like their neighbors, the Greeks believed in a pantheon of gods and goddesses who were associated with specific aspects of life. | | | A Greek deity's epithet may reflect a particular aspect of that god's role, as Apollo Musagetes is "Apollo, [as] leader of the Muses." Alternatively the epithet may identify a particular and localized aspect of the god, sometimes thought to be already ancient during the classical epoch of Greece. |

| | Greek mythology was like a complex and rich language, in which the Greeks could express a vast range of perceptions about the world. | | | A Greek city-state devoted itself to a particular god or group of gods in whose honor it built temples. | | | The Greek gods resembled human beings in their form and in their emotions, and they lived in a society that resembled human society in its levels of authority and power. |

| | GREEK vs. NORSE MYTHOLOGY |
| | If a mythology is taken as a reflection of the society that worships it, that leads to the conclusion that the Norse women had less stature than Greek women. | | | The Greek gods, in contrast, were immortal by definition and thus did not seem to depend on Ambrosia. | | | The fact that in both mythologies the gods and goddesses were "human" enough to require sustenance is one more example of how easy it would be for the people of these cultures to relate to them. |

| | In yet another myth, it was said Hera, queen of the gods, persuaded the Sirens, who were described in early Greek mythology as having the bodies of birds and heads of beautiful women, to enter a singing contest with the Muses. | | | Several other versions were worshipped until the Greeks finally established the nine muses in mythology as: Calliope, Clio, Erato, Euterpe, Melpomene, Polyhymnia, Terpsichore, Thalia, and Urania. | | | Daughters of Zeus, king of the gods, and Mnemosyne ("memory"), they were born at Pieria at the foot of Mount Olympus. |

| | This was the last time Egypt was actually ruled by Egyptians until King Farûk (who was descended from the Albanian Muhammad Ali) was overthrown in 1952. | | | Thus "metaphysics" would be about spiritual things, God, the soul, ghosts, etc. Unfortunately, the Greek preposition meta does not mean "beyond"; it means "after." This might be thought to amount to the same thing, but it doesn't, because of the actual origin of the word. | | | A similar moral critique is carried out in contemporary Persian religion by the prophet Zoroaster (Zarathushtra); and Judaism, over a period of time, undergoes a similar process, as the Prophets represent God requiring just and holy actions. |
