Best Answer

1. Greek mythology was a REAL religion to the Minoan, Greek and Trojan cultures.

2. Most of the myths are based on etymology (the origin of words and what they mean) rather than allegory (using imagery to make something easier to understand).

3. Most of the constellations in the night sky are named for figures from Greek mythology

4. Thessaly, a rocky region with many orphan boulders, was considered to be the sight of the Titanomachy (the war between the gods and titans).

5. Zeus has the same root origin as the Latin words deus(god) and dies (day).

Greek Mythology was a way for the ancient greeks to explain things they didn't understand. like lightning and thunder, so they created someone that ruled over it; Zeus. They made these stories and from that spawned more and more stories making greek mythology.

A Greek Myth is, in its most basic element, the Ancient Greek's version of the Catholic Bible, but for their polytheist religion.
