This is because multiple cones may be activated at the same time allowing us to see many colors. The three cones may not always be activated to capacity, and the blending of the activations allows us to see variations of color, just as you could mix different amounts of paint colors (red green and blue) to create many colors.

How can you explain the fact that we see a great range even though only three cones types exist?

Although we only have three types of cones in our eyes (red, green, blue), the brain can perceive a wide range of colors due to color mixing and processing. By combining signals from different cones in various proportions, our brain can interpret the full spectrum of colors we perceive. Additionally, factors like lighting, context, and contrast also play a role in how we perceive colors.

Therefore, although Zeus is not a real character, the myths hold great value to our society


Does the great goddess Aphrodite exist?

Aphrodite is a figure from Greek mythology, so whether she "exists" depends on how you interpret that term.
