Mythos: The Greek Myths Retold - Stephen Fry

Zeus is a corny god that Hera is a jealous goddess.

 

Men created stories, gods are like humans that kill, eat and mate. 

 

Some gods are beautiful, some are beautiful and smart. 

 

So far so good in the retelling of old tales. A story of where gods come from. All gods are from the imagination of humans. 

 

Like Harry Potters, stories provide a guide for values. The good are going to win because they are good. The bad are powerful, cruel and wicked but would still lost in the end because they are bad.
