Greek Mythology: The Myths of Ancient Greece from the Origin of the Cosmos and the Appearance of the Titans to the Time of Gods and Men - Paperback

Hellenic mythology undoubtedly has some of the best-known legends in the world. Like most people, the Olympians had their own family dramas. Our book devotes special attention to the genealogy of the Greek gods and the relationships they had with each other, whether good, evil or incestuous.

These divine beings gave humanity both joy and despair, and the ancient peoples of Greece and elsewhere related their world to the actions of the gods. However, the gods and Titans were all corporeal and able to interact physically with humanity. They were no different from the earth or the clouds in the sky. They could be seen and touched-especially touched, given the many children born from unions with gods and demigods.

The strong interaction humans had with the gods and goddesses of Greek mythology allowed them to make sense of the world order in which they found themselves. It was a constant reminder that all beings in the heavens, on the earth and underground were all cogs in the same system.

In this book you will discover:

• The intriguing relationships between gods, men, demigods and monsters.
• The link between divinity and weakness. Not only men make mistakes; even seemingly perfect beings make mistakes regularly.
• The importance of love as a guiding force in nature and life in general.
• A practical understanding of the motivations that drive men and gods to perform actions that are less than honorable.
• How hard work can end in tragedy
• The importance of family in Greek mythology
• And much more!
