We know that the Greeks believed that their Gods influenced the life all around them, but how do we see that in their stories? Let’s find out now.
We can see that in Greek stories the main character is usually fighting mythical creatures that the Greeks believed in. We also know that the main characters receipt help from the Gods. The Greeks, believe that the gods manipulated things around them, so in their stories, the gods must do the same. In the stories that I have read, the main character is usually trying to get back his rightful place as a king, or save someone from a bad king, and they get helps from the Gods.
In Greek stories, like Pandora’s box, we see that the writers try to give an explanation for why there are diseases in the world, except that they try to do stories like this with Gods, and very strong humans.
In the story of Hercules, Hercules meets Atlas, the God, who is holding up the world. You can clearly see how the Greeks thought that a God was holding up the world. We know that the Greeks thought that Gods controlled the world around them, so that’s probably why they put Atlas in their story. We can certainly see that their worldview influenced their stories and myths.
