| | Mythology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Myths are not the same as fables, legends, folktales, fairy tales, anecdotes or fiction, but sloppy usage has blurred the distinctions in many people's minds. | | | This broader truth runs deeper than the advent of critical history which may, or may not, exist as in an authoritative written form which becomes "the story" (Preliterate oral traditions may vanish as the written word becomes "the story" and the literate become "the authority"). | | | Myths and Myth-Makers Old Tales and Superstitions Interpreted by comparative mythology by John Fiske |

| | Thus the archaic Roman "mythology", at least concerning the gods, was made up not of narratives, but rather of interlocking and complex interrelations between and among gods and humans. | | | Early mythology about Roman "history"In contrast to the dearth of narrative material about the gods, the Romans had a rich panoply of quasi-historical legends about the foundation and early growth of their own city. | | | The Roman ritual practice of the official priesthoods clearly distinguishes two classes of gods, the di indigetes and the de novensides or novensiles. |

| | Greek mythology, ancient greek myths. Greek gods and heroes. |
| | No matter what the variations are of each story the bottom line is that the ancient Greeks had a brilliant imagination and created one of the richest and most complete set of characters: gods, demigods and heroes and passed them on to us to appreciate their brilliance millennia later. | | | To make matters worse, all greek mythology came to us written in ancient greek (of course!) so translating to English or any other language was not an easy task. | | | This guide is by no means complete but it's a starting point for information on ancient greek gods, ancient myths, heroes and demigods and other interesting mythological stories. |

| | Even the names of the Galilean moons of Jupiter (the four largest, which may be seen with even a small telescope) are drawn from mythology. | | | By far, though, we owe the greatest debt to the mythology of the ancient Greeks and Romans. | | | The earliest references to the mythological significance of the Greek constellations may be found in the works of Homer, which probably date to the 7th century B.C. In the Iliad, for instance, Homer describes the creation of Achilleus's shield by the craftsman god Hephaistos: |

| | GREEK vs. NORSE MYTHOLOGY |
| | Both were sons of the supreme god in their respective mythologies and both had twins (Balder and Hod, Apollo and Artemis.) While Apollo was known as the sun god, Balder was usually thought to have light shining from him. | | | This supports the theory that these mythologies, because they were serving generally less-advanced societies (industrially, socially and intellectually), created gods who would come down and physically interact with mortals, gave the gods a sense of tangibility to the society. | | | An interesting difference between Norse and Greek mythology is exemplified in the popularity and importance of Athena, because she is female. |
