The Change in Understanding of Greek Mythology

     Mythology has been around for more then two thousand years and the stories have remain the same but how we view mythology in today world has changed. Two thousand years ago people did not think mythology was myth, people believed it was history. Mythology today is stilled viewed as history but towards people of Ancient Greece, mythology started as being the understanding of the world and how it came to be, and is still alive today but it gives another understanding into a lost society.

     Two thousand years ago people did not understand how the world or humans began, so they developed stories to how there life came to be. These stories are known today as mythology, but there was no myth about them to the Ancient Geeks. Mythology was a way of life for them, it's how they ate, how they would sleep, and how they lived there everyday life, Mythology was a religion for them. Ancient Greeks thought that mythology was real.

     In Today's Society ,Ancient Greek mythology gives us a window into into how people lived, more then two thousand years ago, lived. Mythology contributed a lot to our society in the United States of America and in the in the English language. The temple that the Greeks built for worshiping there gods influenced the buildings for the United States government. The words and names in mythology influenced some words that we use today. Even through the Ancient Greeks have not been alive for the past two thousand years, there mythology still influences the world today.

     Mythology has been around for a while but it still influences the world. People in Ancient Greece thought that mythology was the beginning of life. Today we still refer to the Ancient Greeks for words and government.  Mythology is one of the largest contributions to the modern world.

About Me

     I am John Paglia, and I am a sophomore. I do track and field as a sport at school; I throw the shot put, and I also throw my favorit, the discus. I love computers, and I am a die hard Apple fan (even though I have a PC). I love how just fifty years ago a computer that could barely do a simple addition calculation needed an entire room to be in, and now a small device that is thinner than a third of an inch not only has a calculator but is able to play games, search the internet, play music and videos, and make calls fit in your pocket. Technology is not the only thing I am interested in, I am also interested in aviation. I'm not interested in small little planes with lawn mower engines, of planes that go four hundred mile per hour and can pull nine g's. I like airliners that are huge and can carry more than five hundred people and carry them across an ocean onto another continent, before the day is open. I love how a canvas and wood plane became a double decker, eight hundred passenger plane was developed a hundred years later. I love track and field, and I also like how technology evolves so fast, I also what will be around in only twenty years.
