142. Classical Myth: Homepage Drawing together ancient texts and images concerning the major figures of greek and Roman mythology, by Laurel Bowman, University of Victoria. http://web.uvic.ca/grs/bowman/myth/

When I began to write my history I was inclined to count these legends as foolishness, but on getting as far as Arcadia I grew to hold a more thoughtful view of them, which is this. In the days of old those Greeks who were considered wise spoke their sayings not straight out but in riddles, and so the legends about Cronus I conjectured to be one sort of Greek wisdom. In matters of divinity, therefore, I shall adopt the received tradition.

143. Mythology Of The Seven Sisters (Pleiads) greek legends on the Pleiads, compiled by Steven Gibson, University of Calgary. http://www.ras.ucalgary.ca/~gibson/pleiades/pleiades_myth.html

F. E. Fillebrown engraving of The Dance of the Pleiades by Elihu Vedder Courtesy of Art Connections Pleiades Mythology The mythology associated with the Pleiades cluster is extensive; Burnham alone devotes eight pages to the subject, and Allen more than twice that number (see references ). Here only Greek legends are presented. Even so, these are manifold and often contradictory, being patched together from many different cultures over a long period of time. Further uncertainty is added by most Pleiads sharing names with otherwise unrelated mythological characters. So enjoy, but please do not consider this information to be infallible. Possible Name Derivations plein , `to sail', making Pleione `sailing queen' and her daughters `sailing ones.' The cluster's conjunction with the sun in spring and opposition in fall marked the start and end of the summer sailing season in ancient Greece. pleos , `full', of which the plural is `many', appropriate for a star cluster. peleiades , `flock of doves', consistent with the sisters' mythological transformation. Genealogy tel- tla- , `to lift, support, bear'), another titan, led their war against the gods, and was afterward condemned by Zeus to hold up the heavens on his shoulders. The Pleiades were also nymphs in the train of Artemis, and together with the seven Hyades (`rainmakers' or `piglets'; individual Hyad names are not fully agreed upon) were called the Atlantides, Dodonides, or Nysiades, nursemaids and teachers to the infant Bacchus. The Hesperides (`nymphs of the west'), apparently not counted in this, were only three, and dwelled in an orchard of Hera's, from which Heracles fetched golden apples in his eleventh labor.

147. The Mythology Of The Constellations Classical greek and Roman myths. http://www.comfychair.org/~cmbell/myth/myth.html

The Mythology of the Constellations Most ancient cultures saw pictures in the stars of the night sky. The earliest known efforts to catalogue the stars date to cuneiform texts and artifacts dating back roughly 6000 years. These remnants, found in the valley of the Euphrates River, suggest that the ancients observing the heavens saw the lion, the bull, and the scorpion in the stars. The constellations as we know them today are undoubtedly very different from those first fewour night sky is a compendium of images from a number of different societies, both ancient and modern. By far, though, we owe the greatest debt to the mythology of the ancient Greeks and Romans. The earliest references to the mythological significance of the Greek constellations may be found in the works of Homer, which probably date to the 7th century B.C. In the Iliad , for instance, Homer describes the creation of Achilleus's shield by the craftsman god Hephaistos: On it he made the earth, and sky, and sea, the weariless sun and the moon waxing full, and all the constellations that crown the heavens, Pleiades and Hyades, the mighty Orion and the Bear, which men also call by the name of Wain: she wheels round in the same place and watches for Orion, and is the only one not to bathe in Ocean Iliad XVIII 486-490) At the time of Homer, however, most of the constellations were not associated with any particular myth, hero, or god. They were instead known simply as the objects or animals which they representedthe Lyre, for instance, or the Ram. By the 5th century B.C., however, most of the constellations had come to be associated with myths, and the

The Greek and Roman myths show great variety and originality that has not being matched. Greek mythology is heavily intertwined with Greek classical literature. The works contained the oldest myths in European history. It had withstood the test of time, surviving largely through the works of classical writers between the time of Greek colonisation of the Mediterranean (8th century BC) and the decline of the Roman Empire (AD 3rd century). While the Roman myth and legend was not written until the 1st BC to the decline of Roman Empire. Ovid and Vergil were two of the Roman greatest authors on this subject. They and other Roman writers made classical myths so popular that the medieval Europe and modern society had the tendency to use the more popular Roman names for the Greek gods and heroes, than the Greek names.

What is a myth? A myth is a story. Myths were told or written to answer some of the biggest questions a person could ask Who are we? Where did we come from? Why do these things happen? A myth is often a story of gods and goddesses, heroes, great deeds, and supernatural powers. It may explain things that are mysterious or unknowable to us. In ancient times, myths sometimes explained things that we now understand through science, like the movement of the stars and planets and the changing of the seasons. Who wrote the myths? Ancient Greek myths evolved over hundreds of years. At first the stories were simply told by one person to another. Details changed with each telling and the stories passed through many generations this way. Eventually, some of the myths were written down. Many of the Greek myths that we know today were first recorded by the poets Homer and Hesiod in the 8th century BC. What were the gods like?
