Myth Story Examples
• The term "myth" refers to stories that are
intended to provide explanations for things
that people did not understand. Most often
myths explain natural phenomenon. Myths
exist in nearly every culture and country from
English mythology to Mayan mythology to
Baltic mythology and Slavic.
• Greek mythology is amongst the most wellknown and well-remembered set of myths.
The mythology was told and retold, and also
expressed through artwork. Sculptures, vases,
and various other forms of artwork were
created by the people of ancient Greece in
order to show their appreciation to the gods
and goddesses, or to tell the stories.

Relationships with heroes
Athena, Yunan mitolojisinde zeka, sanat, strateji, ilham ve
barış tanrısıdır. Roma mitolojisinde Minerva diye anılır.
Babası Tanrıların başı Zeus, annesi ise Zeus'un ilk karısı
olan hikmet tanrıçası Metis' tir. Sembolleri, kalkan,
mızrak, zeytin dalı ve baykuştur. Mızrak savaşı, zeytin dalı
barışı, gök gözlü baykuş da bilgeliği temsil eder. Athena,
Atina kentinin baş tanrıçası ve koruyucusudur, kent ismini
de ondan almıştır. Athena ve sembolize ettiği karakterler
birçok kültürde benzer formlarda bulunur. Athena ayrıca
Troya savaşında Akhaların yardımına koşup tahta atın
yapılmasına yardım etmiştir.
Ailesi
"Ve Zeus çıkardı bir gün kendi kafasından
Çakır gözlü yaman Athena'yı,
O dünyayı birbirine katan tanrıçayı,
O hiç yorulmadan orduları yöneten,
O cenk ve savaş bağrışmalarından hoşlanan,
Yüceler yücesi sayılan tanrıçayı."
• These Greek myth story examples are some of
the most remembered and most frequently

culture has its own set of myths which are
used to explain what has happened in the
past.
Each of these stories was used in order to tell a
story that had an underlining moral, meaning or
explanatory purpose.
