Greek mythology

Greek mythology is a collection of stories about the gods, heroes, and monsters of ancient Greece. These tales were originally told orally, and they were not written down until centuries later. Even today, they continue to inspire artists and influence popular culture. The best-known examples of Greek mythology are the epic poems The Iliad and The Odyssey, which were composed by Homer in the 8th century BCE. These poems tell the story of the Trojan War and the ten-year journey home of the Greek hero Odysseus, respectively. Other well-known tales include The Argonautica, in which the heroes journey to capture the Golden Fleece, and The ArgonauticaOracles, which tells the story of the founding of Delphi. Greek mythology remains an important part of Western culture, and it continues to inspire new generations of artists and intellectuals.
