The mythology of the ancient Greeks included a dazzling array of
deities, demigods, monsters, and heroes. These figures
inhabited a realm that stretched beyond the Greek landscape to
the palaces of the gods on snow-capped Mount Olympus, as well
as to the dismal underworld. In time, Greek mythology became
part of European culture, and many of its stories became known
throughout the world.
Despite their awesome powers, the Greek gods and goddesses
were much like people. Their actions stemmed from recognizable
passions, such as pride, jealousy, love, and the thirst for revenge.
The deities often left Mount Olympus to become involved in the
affairs of mortals, interacting with men and women as patrons,
enemies, and sometimes lovers. They were not above using tricks
and disguises to influence events, and their schemes and plots
often entangled people.
Heroes and ordinary humans in Greek myths frequently
discovered that things were not what they appeared to be. The
underlying moral principle, though, was that the gods rewarded
honorable behavior and obedience, and people who dishonored
themselves or defied the gods usually paid a high price.
The Greeks invented their mythology to
explain the ways of their gods. They also
used it for having a subject of discussion and
entertainment, in much the same ways
celebrities are used today. For instance, the
king of gods and men, Zeus, got into many
affairs with other women, infuriating his wife
and sister, Hera.
