Greek mythology tells stories to explain natural phenomena and the relationship between humans and gods. The myths feature gods like Zeus, Apollo, and Ares who acted much like humans but were immortal and had superhuman strength. Myths served purposes like explaining floods or examining human behavior. Other cultures with myth systems studied include Roman and Norse mythology.
