Greek Mythologies

Hey, everyone, this is actually our first official mythical post. As the grand opening, we'll tell about the Greek Mythology, which is the body of myths and legends that belongs to the ancient Greeks about their Gods, heroes, and more. Modern scholars these days are studying them to understand how was the myth-making was done. They must be very sophisticated, huh, myths are not easy stuff to study.

According to the myth, all Gods were born as human beings, but they had some kind of power to regulate the aspects of human lives. They would never get sick and they're eternal (which are everybody's dream) and they have their own sovereignty to control in accordance to their personalities.

Before the arrival of the Christian religion to the country, Greeks believed and worshiped their own trust-worthed Gods. For examples of Gods, are: Chaos, the ancestor of all Gods; Titan, son of Gaia, which was the descendant of Chaos; Zeus, son of Kronus; and more. The Gods didn't live at the human paradise, though, they have their own special place called the Mt. Olympus and led by the King of all Gods, Zeus.

Confused? Well then we're just gettin' started, people, hee hee. This is just the hors-d'œuvre of all stories we're about to share next. To see the more complete article of the Greek Mythology, just simply click HERE;)
