There are many symbols for each and every god, demigod and hero that exists in Greek mythology, many of which are not common knowledge (for example, Zeus' symbols are the thunderbolt, the eagle, the bull and oak) which makes listing them all quite difficult.
Some greek myths that you will see in every day is: Starbucks the girl on the cups relates to a greek story. Also trident the gum. Nike that's a greek word meaning of victory. Lastly Ajax the cleaner supplies leads to a greek myth.
I agree but also as if you were to say you were better than a god or goddess that is how some people are punished in greek stories. You have probably witnessed a time when someone thought they were better than u or when you thought you were better. I like the person before answer but i like to relate greek mythology to everday dramas.
one example of a Greek myth is that in the beginning the Gods made humans with four arms,legs,eyes,ears and two mouths,noes afraid of their power they split them in half, leaving them to find the other half on their own...and when they do these people are called soulmates.
There are many greek mythology characters. The twelve Olympians are Zeus,Poseidon,Hades,Hera,Demeter,Artemis,Apollo,Athena,Hermes,Dionysus,Ares,and Hephaestus.
Well, my favorite two are the Odyssey, and The LEGEND OF THESIUS

The Greek myths were stories told by the Ancient Greeks made to explain strange events, things in nature, and basically everythingon the Earth. The Greek myths weren't written down until writing in Greece was actually develpoed, and before that, the myths were all told by mouth. That is why there are many different versions of the myths. In books telling about Greek myths, the myths may be written down, but usually not every single Greek myth is in one book, as there are lots of them.
