Imagine a time and a place very different from the world you know today.A time where the gods of Ancient Greece ruled the
world from high on Mount Olympus. Gods like Zeus,Apollo,Aphrodite, Athena, Demeter, Hades, Hermes,Poseidon and Dionysus.
The names of these Greek Gods are still known the world over today, nearly 3000 years later, testament that the world still
loves a good story today as it did all that time ago.
In these stories are Gods like the ones just mentioned, and also heroes, heroins, terrible monsters, fanciful beasts, witches
demi-gods (half man half god)magical forests, oceans and cities, magical powers and talismans. All these things go together to
make up some of the greatest and well known stories the world has ever known, and they are as popular today as ever.
The Ancient Greeks loved to tell stories about their gods.
These stories are known as myths which is short for mythology or stories about gods.
Each storyteller told their stories differently, however the god's personality and the power they hold is the same in every
version, for example Poseidon was the God of the oceans and carried a trident.
The world in which these stories are set were turbulent times in which the Gods would argue, fight and punish each other
and anyone that they felt had wronged them or had something that they wanted,however they didn't always get their own way!
These myths would often have morals to them in order to teach as well as entertain and were popular ways to teach children
right from wrong.
