Learning about Greek Mythology could be informative. It could tell you how the ancient people who followed this religion thought of things, and what their explanations for how things that were inexplicable to them happened. Plus, it could also be just for pure entertainment. (and several of the myths have a lot of similarities with stories told today.) AND BECAUSE IT'S FREAKING AWESOME TOO!!!
