Like other mythologies, Greek mythology began with the human attempt to make sense of the world and natural phenomena.

Greek mythology was mans effort to explain mysteies they did not udersand. Greek gods ad godesses are only larger men and women they had not power any more than a stone or wooden replica.

All Greek history and theology is stolen/plagerized from ETHIOPIA and Egypt. Herodotus Himself states Ethiopia is the land where the Gods love to dwell!!! Herodotus was an eye witness to the 14-15 feet Ethipoians on the nile Bank. Zeus himself Chief God was born in Ethiopia! Medusa never had snakes for hair it was her Dreadlocks that appeared to be snakes to a people who have never seen that style before. In the Movie "300" at the Begining of movie the star of the movie goes up to Mount Olympus to enquire of the Oracle. There are 4 ugly guys look like Alien/half-zombies who speak to the Oracle; After that before the star decends back to earth, There is a Bald headed BLACK MAN who Laughs at the star before he leaves. Question: WHO and Why is that BLACK MAN doing in Mount Olympus? And why did they make sure to add that small detail in the movie for? There is a History that is untold that some or most would brush off as "THAT AFRO-CENTRIC BULL-SHIT" I challenge ones to compare the Truth of the past; as opposed to HIS/HER-Story!!!!

Your question can only invite speculation, but interesting is that progressively more and more concepts became personified in gods and godesses. As there are antique texts that describe offerings to these gods, that which is for us is mythology today, was religion in those days.

It starts in the the curiosity of human beings that leads them to make their own gods and goddesses....
as they are saying that God created beings but since we have our common sense... human beings created God......
and the ignorance of people before
