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.
