| - Greek Mythology (ギリシャ神話 Girisha Shinwa?) is the mythology of the ancient Greeks. A large part of Roman mythology is derived from Greek mythology and it forms the foundation of what is known as Classical Mythology.
- Greek Mythology is the beliefs held by the Ancient Greeks.
- Skeptics have attacked this theory, arguing it does not have enough evidence to support it. Supporters of the theory have stuffed the skeptics into their ass, and told them that Zeus is going to send a massive lightning storm and rain crap to incinerate the unbelievers. Later investigation showed that the attackers of the skeptics did not actually exist, and the the skeptics were actually tripped out on acid at the time. This has lead to a considerable amount of confusion in the academic world. Supporters of the theory have raised many arguments. Here is a brief listing of the main pieces of evidence.
- "Greek Mythology" refers to stories made by the ancient Greeks about the occurrences of daily events. Generally, myths arise when man attempts to explain how certain natural phenomena could occur, or to explain open questions like "What happens after death?." One of the oldest known Greek myths is the epic poem of Odyssey, telling the story of the Greek hero Odysseus and his long journey home following the fall of Troy. In modern days, references to many of these myths are found in archeological dig-sites.
- Greek mythology consists of collection of narratives that explain the origins of the world and detail the lives and adventures of a wide variety of gods, goddesses, heroes, and heroines. These accounts were initially fashioned and disseminated in an oral-poetic tradition; our surviving sources of Greek mythology are literary reworkings of this oral tradition. Greek mythology was also reflected in artifacts, such as vase paintings.
- Humanity gradually outgrew the need of these gods until they were simply myths. Unable to survive without the love, admiration, and worship they thrived on, the aliens departed Earth to eventually settle on Pollux IV. (TOS: "Who Mourns for Adonais?" ) Despite their absence, Greek mythology remained a cornerstone of Humanity since many astrographic names, such as those of planets, trace their origins to Greek mythology. Among the sources of Greek mythology were the Homeric Hymns. (TNG: "Darmok" )

The oldest known Greek literary sources, Homer's epic poems The Iliad and Odyssey, focus on the Trojan War and its aftermath. Two poems by Homer's near contemporary Hesiod, the Theogony and the Works and Days, contain accounts of the genesis of the world, the succession of divine rulers, the succession of human ages, the origin of human woes, and the origin of sacrificial practices. Myths are also preserved in the Homeric Hymns, in fragments of epic poems of the Epic Cycle, in lyric poems, in the works of the tragedians and comedians of the fifth century BC, in writings of scholars and poets of the Hellenistic Age, and in texts from the time of the Roman Empire by writers such as Plutarch and Pausanias. Archaeological findings provide a principal source of detail about Greek mythology, with gods and heroes featured prominently in the decoration of many artifacts. Geometric designs on pottery of the eighth century BC depict scenes from the Trojan cycle as well as the adventures of Heracles. In the succeeding Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic periods, Homeric and various other mythological scenes appear, supplementing the existing literary evidence. Greek mythology has had an extensive influence on the culture, arts, and literature of Western civilization and remains part of Western heritage and language. Poets and artists from ancient times to the present have derived inspiration from Greek mythology and have discovered contemporary significance and relevance in the themes.
