Explore Captivating Myths of the Greek Gods and Heroes
Although the Greek gods and goddesses were powerful immortal beings, they were in many ways still very like the humans who worshiped them. The gods and goddesses are stricken with jealousy; they fall in love; they get angry when they feel slighted, and bestow gifts when they are honored. Likewise, the heroes are larger than life: theyre stronger, faster, and more skilled than ordinary mortals, but they are still subject to pain, illness, and death.
