The
myths of Greek antiquity depicted the gods as majestic, blessed with
incomparable beauty and enormous physical strength. They also saw them
as embodying all human traits and weaknesses. The gods hunted, fought,
loved, and were jealous and often unfaithful, which is why they
persisted in meddling with demigods and simple human beings.Satyrs,
nymphs, centaurs, and other strange, fanciful, and bewitching creatures,
along with the twelve gods of Olympos and the ancient Greeks, had their
hand in the writing of the story of Greek mythology, which still
continues to fascinate us. |
