I am talking about stories found in Edith Hamilton's Mythology.

Things like Romeo and Juliet are based on or similar to the brief story of lovers Pyramus and Thisbe.

It does not have to be a myth from Mythology I am open to all ideas.

I mean in a myth.
I have to write one, and I forgot if they could or not.
For example, a mortal decides to steal something of Zeus's, and Hermes hears.
Hermes goes and tells Zeus, who then tells Hermes to trick the mortal into tell him the whole plan.

So I guess what I'm asking is, could Hermes go and talk to the mortal?

Most people believe that it is just a myth, yet they believe in a god purely through faith: believing in something without any proof. If I were to say that the Christian god is a myth i bet many people would be pissed. And if i told some muslims that they worshipped a false god they might kill me. Why is it absurd to think Greek gods are real? Christians believe a talking snake convinced a woman to eat an apple.

i have been cast as aphrodite the godess of love in the greek theatre performance "hephateus and aphrodite". if anybody is aware of this myth, or of the godess of love aphrodite in general - pointers are much appreciated!

My argument is basically that they combined history and mythology and that it effects our understanding of them today, but I can't come up with a good thesis statement for it.
@null the living darkness, that doesn't help much (although maybe I could take from it that to the Greeks Myth and History were inseparable, but that still doesn't break down to a concise thesis).

I have to make up my own Greek/Roman Goddess. I named her Glacilicles, the goddess of ice and glaciers. I picked Boreas (actual god of cold winter air) to be her father and Arethusa (actual goddess known as "the waterer") to be her mother. I have to come up with a myth that talks about how glaciers are formed. Anyone have any suggestions?

In my creative writting class we have to make up our own myth about a natural thing
i dont really know what to write about and how it came to be?
Any ideas?

Ok. so my assignment is to make up my own myth using gods and goddesses basing the story on the origin of something. I kinda want to do it on the origin of pain and suffering or something like that. But it would be REALLY helpful if you gave me some ideas. =) Please!~
THANKS!!!!!!!!~

I have to write an essay on any of the Gods or Goddesses from Greek Mythology, can anyone tell me an interesting god and myth to write about. Preferably one that isn't too long.

I'm writing a myth for my latin class, and I'm trying to write about how this woman tries to get in contact with Hera. But I'm not sure of the Greek rituals/customs that they performed when they tried to speak/contact their gods. I want my story to be accurate and reflect Greek culture. Can someone explain please?

I have to right my own myth and I need topics to write about.
