\"Greek<\/a><\/p>\n

Greek ‘myths’ (short for mythology) are a series of stories about the Gods and magical beings of Greece. We’ll bet you’ve heard of some of the famous – and infamous! – characters already, such as Heracles<\/strong>, (the strongest man on Earth); Zeus<\/strong>, (the God of the sky and king of the gods); Pegasus<\/strong> (a flying horse) and Hades<\/strong> (the god of the underworld).<\/p>\n

Greek mythology<\/h2>\n

\"Greek<\/a><\/p>\n

Created thousands of years ago, Greek myths<\/strong>\u00a0were epic stories about\u00a0Greek gods<\/a><\/strong>, passed down over generations. They often feature heroic battles and terrible creatures, and taught the importance of bravery, intelligence, and right and wrong. They showed that even the gods, like mortal men, could be punished or rewarded for their actions. Details of the ancient tales have been found on everything from pottery to temples to stone statues!<\/p>\n

Greek myths were a huge part of the\u00a0religion<\/strong> in Ancient Greece, and offer a glimpse into the lives of the ancient people who told them. Check out five of these fascinating Greek myths below, and meet some people-eating, fire-breathing beasts and the heroes who battled them!<\/p>\n


\nScylla and Charybdis<\/span><\/h2>\n
\"Greek<\/a>
Scylla and Charybdis<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Monster: <\/strong>Scylla and Charybdis
\nThe Hero: <\/strong>Odysseus
\nThe Battle:\u00a0<\/strong>On both sides of a narrow stretch of sea, monsters lie in wait. On one side,\u00a0Scylla<\/strong> thrashes around her six snakelike heads<\/strong>, ready to crunch on passing sailors. On the other, Charybdis<\/strong> creates a deadly whirlpool<\/strong>. No person has ever faced these beasts and escaped unharmed. Now the king, Odysseus<\/strong>, and his crew must pass them to get home. They edge around Charybdis’ spiralling sea, saving the ship from being swallowed whole. But Scylla swoops down and gobbles up six men. “Row!” Odysseus shouts, leading the rest of the crew past Scylla and out of the deadly channel. Having survived the dreaded beasts, Odysseus and his men continue their journey.<\/p>\n

Theseus and the Minotaur<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Monster<\/strong>: The Minotaur
\nThe Hero<\/strong>: Theseus
\nThe Battle<\/strong>: Half-man, half-bull, the Minotaur<\/strong> lurks in an underground maze waiting for his next meal \u2013 children sent to him as a sacrifice. Lost in the labyrinth, the kids surely will be devoured. But brave king\u00a0Theseus\u00a0<\/strong>has had enough of his land living in fear of the Minotaur. He accompanies the group and is prepared to fight. Hearing the Minotaur breathing nearby, he springs toward it. Dodging the monster’s deadly horns, he thrusts his sword into the beast. The Minotaur is dead, but will the group find its way out? Luckily, Theseus unspooled a piece of string as he walked through the maze, and leads the children out to safety.<\/p>\n

The Labours of Heracles<\/h2>\n
\"Greek<\/a>
The Hydra<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Monster<\/strong>: The Hydra
\nThe Hero<\/strong>: Heracles
\nThe Battle<\/strong>: In a swamp creeps a deadly nine-headed serpent called the Hydra<\/strong>. Killing it is one of 12 tasks Heracles<\/strong> \u2013 the son of Greek god, Zeus –<\/strong>\u00a0must complete to become immortal. After throwing flaming spears at the beast, the Hydra attacks so Heracles hits its heads with a club, but more grow in their place! Heracles’ friend, Iolus<\/strong>, then leaps to his aid with a flaming torch. After an epic battle, the men finally destroy the Hydra!<\/p>\n

Perseus and Medusa<\/h2>\n
\"Greek<\/a>
Medusa<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Monster<\/strong>: Medusa
\nThe Hero<\/strong>: Perseus
\nThe Battle<\/strong>: The hideous Medusa<\/strong> has snakes for hair, terrifying tusks and a face that turns anyone that looks at it into stone! To please his king, warrior Perseus<\/strong> agrees to slay the beast. Wearing a helmet of invisibility, he sneaks up on Medusa. She’s asleep, but one gaze at her face and Perseus would be a statue! So he looks at her harmless reflection in his shiny shield and beheads her. Victorious, Perseus flies off on winged sandals.<\/p>\n

Bellerophon and Pegasus<\/span><\/h2>\n
\"Greek<\/a>
The Chimera<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Monster<\/strong>: The Chimera
\nThe Hero<\/strong>: Bellerophon
\nThe Battle<\/strong>: The fire-breathing Chimera<\/strong> is a terrifying beast with a serpent for a tail, a goat’s body and a lion’s head! A king has commanded warrior, Bellerophon<\/strong>, to destroy her. Soaring above the monster on a winged horse, Pegasus, he shoots arrows at her. Bellerophon then attaches lead to his spear and thrusts it into the vicious beast. The hero\u2019s actions kill the fiery Chimera.<\/p>\n
