In Ancient Greece, their Mythology wasn't myth, in their time, it was as much a religion as Christianity, Judaism, and Islamic faiths are today. Technically, the Greeks Gods are as real as Jesus, that is to say, non-existant. They very well could have been real people, but, even so, the stories of their lives were blown way out of proportions. Today, according to the History Channel, scientists have begun to wonder if the so called "gods" were maybe extra terrestrial beings from another world, who seemed to be gods to the naive people of Ancient Greece.
Folktales- stories from different cultures that were told and passed down from generation to generation. Myths- Stories that when they were first created were thought to be true such as the stories in Greek Mythology were thought to be true back in ancient Greece, Roman Mythology was thought to be true around the time of the Roman Empire and Egytian Mythology was thought to be true back in ancient Egypt. Fairytales- Just little made up stories that are centuries old, they are pretty much folktales but they dont speak of the culture and society as folktales do
