PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Like most Ancient civilizations, the Greeks were polytheistic
Their gods were fierce, powerful,and flawed (much like normal humans)
The myths and tales of these gods are a direct reflection of ancient Greek culture, especially in specific city-states
There were hundreds of Greek gods, but the most famous were the Olympians
These Greeks used mythology to explain everyday events (The Lotus-Eaters)
And often blended mythology with their history (The Trojan War)
