Greek mythology was a way of explaining the environment in which people lived, the natural phenomena they observed and the passage of time with days, months and seasons. Greek myths were also intricately connected to religion. They explained the origin and life of the gods, the origin of humans and their fate after death. Myths gave flesh and blood to the gods of Greek religion, while advising people on how to live a happy life.
