In ancient Greece, myths sprang up and mixed with each other as time went by. Stories that disagreed with each other existed side by side. Greek myths helped people with their lives. Mostly all the gods and goddesses mention in the Greek culture were pictured in human form. Many of them were as weak as humans, while others have powers and became control much of everything. There were gods and goddesses who represented almost every part of our world. There were gods who ruled the sky,ocean, the Earth, and the death. They were also gods and goddesses who ruled over the daily activities of humans, such as sleep, drama, love, wine, medicines, music, and sports. The Greek mythology had less interest in the afterlife than many other cultures. The purpose of Greek myths is to helped people in their daily lives, instead of wondering them about the afterlife.
