Ancient Greece
Ancient Greeks had to face many forces of nature.
In their effort to understand the nature, they invented stories to account for
the things that went on in their lives. These tales, known as myths, were spread
around by travelers. They contained the powerful Olympian gods, sea gods, woodland
gods, sky gods, underwater gods, half-gods, human heroes, courageous or romantic
adventures, betrayals, battles, wanderings, and so on. You'll be assigned to
one of these gods to find out as much as possible, in order to make us feel
a little more comfortable in this strange new place called Ancient Greece.
