 | | Greek Mythology, set of diverse traditional tales told by the ancient Greeks about the exploits of gods, goddesses, heroes, and heroines, and their interrelations with ordinary mortals. |
 | | The focus of the present article is on mythology of the Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic periods; that is, roughly from the 8th century bc to the late 1st century bc. |
 | | The same kind of formative influence has been argued for the Minoan civilization of Crete, on the grounds that, for example, the myth of the Minotaur (half-bull, half-man) in his labyrinth might be a memory of historical bull-worship in the labyrinthine Palace of Knossos. |
