GREEK MYTHOLYGY

Are greek myths true?

Greek myths explained everything from religious rituals to the weather, and gave meaning to the world that people saw around them. While many of these myths are fanciful tales, such as the legends of greedy King Midas or heroic Hercules, other stories like the Trojan War epic have a basis in historical fact.People today still worship the Greek gods as a cultural or traditional practice. This form of worship of the Greek gods is called Hellenism.The Book of Acts is the only book in the New Testament that specifically mentions Greek deities by name, but other books in the New Testament frequently seem to allude to them indirectly, particularly the Gospel of John.
