Mythology contains many hidden wonders of the ancient world. Some contain extravagant adventures of a brave soul fighting unknown monsters at mysterious places no man has gone before. Others demonstrate why things happen as they do, like how we get day and night cycles, what causes the seasons, or something along how man was created in the first place. Mythology is the study of myths. With myths, anthropologists (people who study ancient civilizations) can learn the culture of the people and learn how they thought, how they felt, what their achievements were, and what their downfalls were just to list a few. This makes myths important so what we learn most often in history, how to fix our wrongs and not repeat the mistakes over and over again or learn what they did right and copy that process to help benefit our lives. In the Greek Mythology Research Project you will learn the myths and cultures of Greek civilizations and how they still influence and benefit us today.
