Greek Mythology is the body of myths and teachings that belong to the ancient Greeks, concerning their gods and heroes, the nature of the world, and the origins and significance of their own cult and ritual practices. It was a part of the religion in ancient Greece. The Greeks were polytheistic in their religious beliefs. Polytheistic means they believed in and worshiped many different gods. Modern scholars refer to and study the myths in an attempt to shed light on the religious and political institutions of Ancient Greece and its civilization, and to gain understanding of the nature of myth-making itself.

In Greek Mythology, the gods often represented different forms of nature. Their religion/mythology had no formal structure with the exception of various festivals held in honor of the gods. There was no sacred book or code of conduct to live by. The most powerful Greek gods were known as the Olympians. The Greeks believed the Olympians lived on the highest mountain in Greece, Mount Olympus. The Olympian gods included Zeus, Hera, Apollo, Aphrodite, Ares, Artemis, Athena, Demeter, Hades, Hermes, Hephaestus, Poseidon and Hestia or later she was replaced in some lists by Dionysus.

Greek Mythology is explicitly embodied in a large collection of narratives, and implicitly in Greek representational arts, such as vase-paintings and votive gifts. Greek myth attempts to explain the origins of the world, and details the lives and adventures of a wide variety of gods, goddesses, heroes, heroines and mythological creatures. These accounts initially were disseminated in an oral-poetic tradition; today the Greek myths are known primarily from Greek literature. The oldest known Greek literary sources, Homer's epic poems Iliad and Odyssey, focus on the Trojan War and its aftermath.

Greek Mythology The Ancient Myths and Legends of Greek Mythology eBook Patrick Auerbach

Greek Myths are nice short bits of entertainment, most of which have little nuggets in them like how we got the word echo, or as we read here in the story of Persephone and Hades "the Earth grew cold and infertile until her return to Mount Olympus- thus the season of winter."

I was looking for an easy to read version of classic Greek Myths (not iambic pentameter or forms of English from centuries gone by), and this delivered nicely.

If you want to know about Greek mythology then get this book. This book will guide you in perfect way for knowing about that. Appreciating content.
It is filled with tales of love, death, deceit dishonor that many of us can relate and learned some life lessons. , most of which have little nuggets in them like how we got the word echo, or as we read here in the story of Persephone and Hades
It was an OK book. If starting out just learning Greek mythology this a good STARTER BOOK. For us advanced readers on this topic its just a refresher book. Worth it for free.😐
Well chosen list of Greek Myths. Well written.
Numerous references to incest, unwanted sexual advances, lust, polygamy and rape. Definitely not the literature I recall from my childhood. Have to add that there are a number of grammatical errors (or spelling errors) in the text, better proofing required.
I love to read stories and historical books about Greek mythology. I loved the stories in this book especially Hercules, and Aphrodite and Adonis Stories. This book got more than 20 of the most famous Greek Mythology stories. I really enjoyed reading this book just as I always enjoy reading anything about the Greek ancient history.
Got excited with this book. I am a history lover and reading Greek mythology is one thing I always enjoy doing. This book of course is all about the gods, goddesses, Cyclopes and other mythical people. It is filled with tales of love, death, deceit dishonor that many of us can relate and learned some life lessons. There are 25 famous stories that this book covered. They are all interesting and fun to read.
