The Muses, Zeus’ nine daughters by the goddess of memory, were the goddesses of artistic inspiration....Thus, myths held a revered place in ancient Greece as they were seen to be divinely inspired and were meant to convey some important message about life or the gods to the people. Simply put myths can be seen as “traditional tales relevant to society.” ... Myth can be seen as history in that it chronicles an event that happened in the past. Myth can also be grouped with religious documents because it was divinely inspired and dealt with the “attributes… roles… and relationships” of the gods. Or, myth can be viewed as literature. ||
 * To demonstrate perceptive understanding of that relationship, you will give an explanation that shows your insight. Things to look at are and write about are:
 * The social importance of these myths. What do they tell us about Greek society? What social rules and expectations do they reinforce?
 * What did the ancient Greeks use myths for? Eg explaining the unexplainable. Showing the virtues and morals expected of people in their society. Inspiring people to act in as heroes or as well-behaved and civilised Greeks.
