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. The span of stories and characters in Greek mythology ranges from the atrocities of the early gods to the brutal wars of Troy and Thebes, from the youthful pranks of Hermes to the heartfelt grief of Demeter for Persephone, all depicted in minute detail in a bewildering range of media. 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. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Greek_mythology   (3491 words)

GREEK vs. NORSE MYTHOLOGY An interesting difference between Norse and Greek mythology is exemplified in the popularity and importance of Athena, because she is female.
