Chapter 8: Ancient Greece Section 3: Greek Mythology and literature

Myths Explain the World The ancient Greeks believed in many gods. These gods were at the center of Greek mythology. Mythology is a body of stories about gods and heroes that try to explain how the world works. Each story explained natural or historical events. The ancient Greeks believed their gods caused events like thunder and earthquakes to happen and they created myths to explain the gods’ actions.

Myths explain the world Among the most important Greek gods were: Zeus, king of the gods Hera, queen of the gods Poseidon, god of the sea Hades, god of the underworld Demeter, goddess of agriculture Hestia, goddess of the hearth Athena, goddess of wisdom Apollo, god of the sun Artemis, goddess of the moon Ares, god of war Aphrodite, goddess of love Hephaestud, god of metalworking Dionysus, god of celebration Hermes, the messenger god

Myths Explain the world The Greeks built great temples to honor them all around Greece. In return, they expected the gods to give them help when they needed it. Many Greeks in need of advice traveled to Delphi, a city in Central Greece. There they spoke to the oracle, a female priest of Apollo to whom they thought the god gave answers.

Ancient Greek Literature Because the Greeks loved myths and stories, they created many great works of literature. Among the earliest Greek writings are two great epic poems, the Iliad and the Odyssey written by Homer. Homer is a famous poet and one of the earliest Greek writers. The heroes in Homer’s poems fought in the Trojan War. The Iliad tells the story of the last years of the Trojan War. It focuses on the deeds of the Greeks. The Odyssey describes the challenges that the Greek hero Odysseus faced on his way home from the war.

Ancient greek litrature Other poets wrote poems that were often set to music. A lyric poem can be described as a poem set to music. During a performance, the poet played a stringed instrument called a lyre while reading a poem. They were called lyric poets after their instrument, the lyre. The most famous lyric poet was a woman named Sappho. Her poems were beautiful and emotional. They were about love and relationships with her family and friends.

Ancient Greek literature Other Greeks told stories to teach people important lessons. Fables are short stories that teach the reader lessons about life or give advice on how to live. Aesop was a Greek famous for his fables. In most of Aesop’s fables, animals are the main characters. The animals talk and act like humans.
