When talking about greek religion, and every non revealed religion, people forget that this religions do not have an official version of the facts they talk about. These religions do not have a sacred book they consider font of truth. So the tradition and stories of Greek religion changed with the time. There were lots of versions of every Greek legend most of them where lost because of CHRISTIAN people burning their scrolls and killing pagans. Greeks didn't even believe in their own creation myth because there are legends and drawings of people living before the fight between gods and Titans and in some of them these humans do even have tails and walk not completely erected. So before judging ancient cultures and religions we should first study them well for decades and know them deeply without being blinded by pregiudice, which is almost impossible for worshippers of a religion that claimed and still claims to be the only truth. The past was not as ignorant as we think it to be

Greek mythology came before Judaism and Christianity, same as Paganism and even the Egyptian myths. All of these contained elements that later were copied in the bible. Religions are fluid and change with time to suit the time period and to help those in power to maintain control. The Catholic church has very little power now which is why Christian numbers are dropping and there are more atheists and agnostics in traditionally Christian countries. If you don't believe me you can look up the statistics and study the history of religion. Alternitavely read the bible and study it's inconsistencies and how depicitions of supernatural events changed over time. Religious literature is very beautiful, but its very much fictional.

[@merrywivesofwindsor]

Here is a story for your amusement: I am pretty sure they were real people with high abilities, perhaps newly arrived beings who came to start a new civilization based upon good organization and a strong ethical code. Their failure over time was lack of ensuring compliances. In other words, the naughty ones caused extra work for the others and all they knew to handle disturbances was the Vicissitudes. Dionysus should not have been allowed to join the group. He was not for the group but for himself. After the Romans destroyed Athens, there was nothing left after they carted away most of the statues and tried to pass off the Gods and Goddesses as theirs, by changing names. Actual memories ended up fables. But the intention to civilize those tribes and Athens' success in doing so was Athena's "magic". She loved her people and held her post til way past the time she should have passed the hat. Hers is a time honored legacy that could never be destroyed. I see it with rebuilding of the Parthenon these days. It had a wonderful beginning. Athena loved her original location, but the honor of such a gift as that beautifully built structure was more important to the people as a citadel for knowledge. The people around the area sent their sharpest sons to learn and contribute by sharing the knowledge back to their tribes. These days I like to think all of those Gods have regrouped and are busy learning about life, readying to finish the job, and in better condition this time.

Naiya Luna The people with super powers that were called "gods" (lower cased "g") may have been physically real, BUT, we should not worship them, they were still just people, they were born, they were very limited and very very flawed, etc, it's not possible for them to have been the "Source" of the universe, dimensions, and people, etc. The Source of the universe, dimensions, and people, is a person who is the meaning of life. Love, joy, paradise, progressive life, power, people, energy, matter, etc, come from the Source, and the Source is a person, not a thing.

[@bronson8x993]

One way to think about myths and gods is that, although they are not physically real, and are more like persistent thoughts, or as recognizitions of awe and beauty in nature, still even thoughts have consequences. Stories change lives. People don't become spirits after death but are located at living, in their thoughts, dreams and behaviours. We embody our dead and we understand ourselves through myths and stories - and from the teachings and quirks of those that are no more here.

[@lindseyshupee]

Parts of what he said I thought was very awesome. That he wanted to tie in the past with now. Usually people just want to throw EVERYTHING out except for what they currently know. So I am very relieved to find someone who can tie it together some. From the studies I have done though, Zeus did care about people. He did have mercy and it was said that he hated it when people did sacrifices. There was a story too about how sometimes he would appear as a weary traveler to see if people would be hospitable. They said the Gods would often reward people for good deeds. I think there was a lot more to him though than we know today. I feel the same about his brother Poseidon... Really all of them. Ya, maybe not everything they did was totally nice but I feel like they have done more than we know.

You can clearly see it just by looking at Armenia and it's polytheistic religion, when Armenia became the first Christian nation in 301 AD they still spreaded folklores and poems and overall cultural stuff about their polytheistic religion. As an example in the story of Hayk Nahapet (according to a folklore the father of the Armenian Nation) ,Hayk is related to one of Noahs sons but in the same story he defeated a god from the Babylonian pagan mythology known as the Bel Marduk (equivalent to Greek Zeus and Latin Jupiter).

You guys are reading Greek mythology at face value and not looking into the real meaning behind it so I disagree with what is being said here. It’s biased. For example: Persephone’s myth is the same myth of Adam and eves fall from the garden but simply told from the Greek cultures perspective. These myths were told in story form and those who were the initiates understood the meaning behind them. The Greek philosophers tell us this. The Bible itself tells us that the Bible itself is told through parables and dark sayings of old. It also says to those who are within understand and those who are without basically understand and believe the parable and not the meaning behind it.

The thesis statement is that false myths bear evidence to truth myths. They do not prove anything in themselves, but to Christians who believe (in faith primarily, but backed by evidence) in the Scriptural narrative, these myths are simply more evidence. The flood is an example. There are few people who saw scientific evidence for a global flood, or the multiple myths that include flood-stories, and became Christians. Yet when scientific research shows evidence of a flood-event, that strengthens the conviction of those who took that narrative from Scripture on faith.

The next step then would be to academically study pagan religions to reconstruct knowledge of the angels. Common pagan tropes - sleeping gods, lightning wielders, divine horse twins probably contain information about the angels. In fact, one trope - the new Gods defeating the old Gods (Titans and Olympians, Jötunnar and Æsir, Fomorians and Tuatha Dé Dannan, Baal cycle) reflects the war in heaven/fall of Satan/fall of man. Not to mention, the Canaanite myths, which even feature many beings known in the Bible or Mysticism and Qabbalah (Yahweh, The Leviathan, Asmodeus, Lillith, the Behemoth), probably contains the closest truth, and can be used as a great tool for reconstruction.

The books are what got me interested in mythology. My grandmother who was full Greek used to tell me of her times in Greece. All of the stories. In Greek mythology everyone knows of the Parthenon. It was built bu the Athenians to worship Athena. In mythology, it states that the Athenians were some of the smartest people on Earth. My Grandmother told me that once, her and her cousin hiked up mount Olympus (which is supposedly the home of Olympus.) She said that when she was in school, there was a mythology class and the teacher said that the Gods hated it when people climbed Mt. Olympus. So her friend and her decided to climb it. She said that the weather was perfectly fine, she god about 1/4 of the way up and it started to thunder and lighting very badly. When her and her friend climbed down, the thunder and lightening stopped. So me personally, believe in the Gods. But my family is also Catholic, so God and Jesus will always be above The Gods of Olympus.
