ProfessorSome 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.

The Trojan War comes from Greek myths and legends.

The ancient Greek myths.
What are all the Greek myths and has anyone wrote every Greek myth?
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. I do not think one Ancient Greek man could have known or told every single myth either.
