What is ancient Greek myths?
What we describe today as a mythology, by which we mean a connected series of fantasies that are traditionally told in a given culture (much like the concept of fairy tales, except that mythology tells a more unified overall story than fairy tales do) was originally a religion. People believed in the pantheon of Greek gods, Zeus and Apollo and Bacchus and Hera and so forth, as actual gods whom they worshipped and prayed to. This religion goes back many thousands of years, and was already an ancient religion at the time it was replaced by the more recent religion of Christianity. There is no guarantee that some future society will not regard Christianity as a mythology (indeed, the late Isaac Asimov has already stated that the bible should be regarded as Jewish mythology).
