		Greek religion was polytheistic, and the culture within which it was practised was pluralistic: there was no single orthodoxy, and no equivalent of the Christian Bible or the Muslim Koran—that is, no sacred, written text in which all adherents were expected to believe.
		Greek mythology was like a complex and rich language, in which a vast range of perceptions about the world could be expressed.
		The gods and goddesses of Greek mythology were in many respects like extraordinarily powerful mortals: they experienced (albeit in supernaturally intense form) such emotions as jealousy, love, grief, and the desire to assert their own authority and to punish anyone who flouted it.

		For the Trojans defeat meant death or enslavement; for the Greeks it meant the chance to return home, whether to a welcome from a faithful wife (Penelope and Odysseus) or to murder by an adulterous one (Clytemnestra and Agamemnon).
