Question

Explain Greek myth and how it has interpreted to the modern world

Answer 1

Greek myth has affected us by showing that there were or were not ancient beings that affected the way we thought act or talk because we want to feel like we know something

Answer 2

In modern usage the term ‘myth’ perhaps has negative connotations suggesting a lack of authenticity and reliability. However, it should not be assumed that myths were whole-heartedly believed in nor should it be assumed that the Greeks were wholly sceptical of them. Probably, the Greek myths, as with any religious or non-written sources, were believed by some and discounted by others. Myths were certainly used for religious and educational purposes but also may well have had a simple aesthetic function of entertainment.
