		Greek mythology is the body of stories, myths and legends belonging to the ancient Greeks, concerning their gods and heroes, the nature of the world and their own cult and ritual practices.
		Greek mythology was also depicted in artifacts; Geometric designs on pottery of the 8th century BC depict scenes from the Trojan cycle, as well as the adventures of Heracles.
		The genesis of modern understanding of Greek mythology is regarded by some scholars as a double reaction at the end of the eighteenth century against "the traditional attitude of Christian animosity mixed with disdain, which had prevailed for centuries", in which the Christian reinterpretation of myth as a "lie" or fable had been retained.

		Again, the tradition presupposes the conquest by the Spartans of the whole, or at least the greate: part, of Laconia, yet Lycurgus must fall in the period when the Spartans had not yet subjugated even the middle Eurotas plain in which their city lay.
		Finallv, we can point to an adequat explanation of the genesis of the tradition in the ideals of the eformers of the latter part of the 3rd century, led by the kings Agis IV.
		Lycurgus was a man of action; his orations, of which fifteen were published, are criticized by the ancients for their awkward arrangement, harshness of style, and the tendency to digressions about mythology and history, although their noble spirit and lofty morality are highly praised.

	Taming the Winds
		The mythology of the Winds tends to focus on the two most powerful of the directional winds, the North (Boreas) and the West (Zephyrus).
		Violence is a strong motif in the two categories that include the most information on Wind mythology, but we should not be surprised by this, as it is a reflection in mythological literature on the strength and force of the meteorological winds.
		The third part of the myth is unusual in Classical mythology as we have already noted, as Oreithuia ends her time happily as a satisfied wife and mother.

	Sparta - Introduction
		In the pages of the very rich Hellenic mythology, a very special position is held by the founders of Sparta and those who wrote the prologue of its later glorious history.

		During the Mycenaen period, beyond the fast that art flourished, evident from the golden cups of Vaphion kept today in the Museum of Athens, Sparta gave the poetic cause of the Trojan War, through the abduction of beautiful Helen by Paris.

		Occasionally the ancients confused her with the Titaness Phoibe, her motherâs mother (the name of the Titaness is equivalent in meaning to French or English Clare or Clara; and as it is an epithet in Greek, it may also serve the younger goddess as an honorary title, in the usual fashion).
		Although mythology represents her as Apolloâs sister, she is found worshipped in places with which he has little or no concern, not only Ephesos on the coast of Asia Minor, where she has a temple-legend connecting her with non-Greek peoples, but at scores of places in Greece proper.
		This legend seems to have been of considerable local importance, since Pausanias saw, on the great throne of Apollo at Amyklaiâ”one of the most notable monuments of Lakedaimonian cultâ”a representation of Taygete and her sister Alkyone being carried off respectively by Zeus and Poseidon.
