The people of ancient Greece shared stories called myths about the gods, goddesses, and heroes in which they believed.
Each god or goddess was worshipped as a deity and ruled over certain areas of the Greeks’ lives.
These exciting stories explained natural phenomena that could not be explained by science in the ancient world.
