Greek mythology

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelve)

The bust of Zeus found at Otricoli (Sala Rotonda, Museo Pio-
Clementino, Vatican)
Greek mythology is the body of stories belonging to the Ancient

Greeks concerning their gods and heroes, the nature of the world and
the origins and significance of their own cult and ritual practices.
Modern scholars refer to the myths and study them in an attempt to
throw light on the religious and political institutions of Ancient Greece and on the

Ancient Greek civilization, and to gain understanding of the nature of myth-making
itself.
