In my opinion mythology is something to learn just for the enjoyment of learning about it, but if your here for some other reason I hope you enjoy anyway. Mythology is always something I've loved and something I always will love learning about. It's exciting and sad and cool I think. in mythology there is a god for everthing and anything you can think about from the stars and the moon to the bugs and the dirt. However when your looking at the gods themselves there evil, and conniving, and funny, and smart, and in some cases even nice. there are museums all around the world with greek statues and paintings and vases and scultptings of all different kinds of gods. People were known for giving offerings to different gods for different reasons wether it was during war when they made an offering to Ares, or during drouts when they made offerings to Poseidon. Many people were known for falling in love with the gods, some even had children with them, in which case the children were called demigods, but there were more than just gods and there children. There were creatures that were known in the greek mythology too. There was the Menotaur and the Pegasaus and Medusa and many other creatures some good some bad.
