Im absoulutly amazed by this culture. With their 12 major gods and 12 minor gods. And all the stories and legends that go into. And how their no heaven. Just mount olyumpus. And everybody goes to the underworld. What are your thoughts on this culture?

I know that it is not true, but the games based on it are very Cool.

I think the idea is cool, but some of it is not. I wouldn't like to go to a underworld.

I think the Greek myths are pretty cool, but thwre are plkenty of other pagan religions with equally cool deities. As an aside, there are far more than 12 minor Gods.

The best thing in Greek Mythology is Zeus, he is the father of thousands of Gods, heroes, monsters. etc.

The Iliad, Odyssey and Jason and the Golden Fleece are amazing books, really worth reading.

Their creation story is interesting too - how the primeval deities, Gaia, Aether, Erebus, and Nyx just came out of Khaos and formed the Universe.

I've read excerpts of Odyssey and Iliad~

But not all of either of them.

Yes it is, but not only heroes go to the Elysium Fields. The very good also get to go there.

Yep, they go there because they treated with respect the Gods, the person who didn't do it were considered of commiting a hidious crime, ivris.
