Greek myths are filled with gods, heroes, and epic adventures that have captivated audiences for centuries. These stories explain the creation of the world, the lives of the gods on Mount Olympus, and the heroic deeds of figures like Hercules, Achilles, and Odysseus. Epics like The Iliad and The Odyssey tell tales of war, honor, and the struggles between mortals and gods. These myths and legends not only entertained the ancient Greeks but also conveyed important moral lessons and cultural values that still resonate today. (Find books about Classical Greece here.)
