Such creatures as the cyclops, satyrs, and centaurs have their origins in Greek myth. This mythology has been used as a source of humor in several Muppet productions, and as a basis for more serious adaptations in

How do dumbass dinosaurs evolve into something as sophisticated as pigs and amoebas? I mean come on! The world is too chaotic to be created and ruled by a single deity. There is no hell or heaven .

These accounts were initially fashioned and disseminated in an oral-poetic tradition; our surviving sources of Greek mythology are literary reworkings of this oral tradition. Greek mythology was also reflected in artifacts, some of them works of art, notably the repertory of vase-painters. The Greeks themselves referred to the myths and associated artworks to throw light on cult practices and ritual traditions that were already ancient and, at times, poorly understood. Contents Greek gods See Also External Links References Greek gods Edit In the wide variety of legends and stories that constitute ancient Greek mythology, the deities that were native to the Greek peoples are described as having essentially human but ideal bodies. Although each god's physical appearance is distinct, they have the power to take on whatever form they choose. The few composite or chimerical beings that occur, such as the Sphinx, had their origins in Anatolia or the Near East and were imported into the Greek culture.

GODDESSES TITANESSES FABULOUS CREATURES ...
