you can't beat Greek mythology, because they think the gods are real, today the god of Greek mythology are not to think of much. the Greeks thought the gods are the most powerful,immortal, gods of Greek. and if they were real(not saying that they aren't) they could kill, if interfered. plus, you don't know where they are because they can turn into human form. so the answer could be no, you can't beat Greek mythology.
It was how the Ancient Greeks explained the world around them. Much like the Egyptian mythology. It is about all the gods and goddesses and what they were the 'rulers' of.
Pretty much all of the gods had the ability to shapeshift.
They kept the crops good they kept things in order and kept peace in the world pretty much.
Books on this subject are several hundred pages long. You cannot expect that much information in this space.
All of the Greek gods are dangerous because they are the much more powerful form of man.
For the Ancient Greeks, their religion (what we call Greek Mythology) was everything. Their dad-to-day lives were focused on and pretty much revolved around their religion. Their religion was a life-style for them, centered on the gods they worshipped.
Today, Greek Mythology doesn't really have much impact on the world. You will still find temples and things like that for the Greek gods. Though the effects are less than they used to be, Life in Ancient Greece was based around Greek Mythology and he gods. They would worship the gods. You see, for the Ancient Greeks, everything in daily life was the cause of a god or goddess. Zeus made thunder and lightening storms. Demeter let harvests grow to feed the people, things like this. They every much believed that the gods would walk among them and curse anyone you said something against them. So as you can see, yes, in Ancient times Greek Mythology did effect the life's of many people.
In Greek Mythology, things are beautiful because that's how people saw life in the Greek times. Gods and Goddesses are supposed to be much better than trifle humans, so they had to be GORGEOUS. In Greek Mythology they are always talking about the gods and goddesses being as beautiful as the things they represented.I think the only god who ISN'T beautiful is Hephestus, the lame god. But that's why both his mother AND father threw him off Olympus.In Greek Mythology things on earth are beautiful probobally because Earth is a goddess, Gaea.Hope this helped!

greek people adored the gods and they say that depending on how much they adore them the gods helped them.
