The Greek Gods did not explain natural disasters the greek people did. If a volcano erupted the Greeks would say that Hades was angry if there was an earthquake the Gods would say Poseidon was angry. his calls 4 the waffle song!!! do you like waffles, yeah we like waffles, do you like pankakes, yeah we like pankakes, do you like french toast, yeah we like french toast do-do-dodo cant wait to get a mouth full. waffles!! waffles!!! waffles!!! do-do-dodo cant wait to get a mouth full of you and your cousins mom.
No they are not real, the Greek gods were used in ancient times to explain natural disasters or epiphenomena that people didn't understand before
A myth is a traditional story that explains a natural or social phenomenon and usually involves supernatural beings. Greek myths involve the Greek gods and demi-gods and explain natural or social phenomenons.
Myths were used, not only by the Greeks and Romans, to explain that which could not be explained at the time. For example, they could not explain why natural disasters like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and such happened so they explained it by attributing these things to a higher power, the gods, saying that the god so-and-so was upset for this such reason. (Myths were used to explain more than just natural disasters, mind you.)
things that people from along time ago couldn't explain
Back in the day, people created gods and goddesses to explain the natural phenomenon that occurred in everyday life.
The ancient Greeks attributed weather, seasons, and natural disasters to the actions of their gods and goddesses. They believed that deities like Zeus, Poseidon, and Demeter controlled various natural phenomena, such as storms, earthquakes, and agricultural cycles. Myths and legends were used to explain these events, with narratives often reflecting the relationship between humans and divine forces. Additionally, they observed natural patterns, which contributed to their understanding of seasonal changes.
The ancient Greeks attributed seasons and natural disasters to the actions of their gods and goddesses. They believed that changes in weather and the cycle of seasons were influenced by deities such as Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, who mourned for her daughter Persephone's descent into the Underworld, causing winter. Natural disasters, like earthquakes and storms, were often seen as manifestations of divine anger or displeasure, linked to gods like Poseidon, the god of the sea. Thus, their understanding of nature was deeply intertwined with mythology and religious beliefs.
The Greeks. They made the Myths to explain the unexplainable.
Chthonic gods and goddesses were considered to be gods of the underworld and the Earth. Hades is one of the Greek gods.
