Greek Mythology
The people of ancient Greece and Rome had an extremely intelligent society. They had sophisticated architecture and a very high level of mathematics in their culture. These areas of life dealt with real things that could be controlled. When it came to natural phenomena the Greeks had certain explanations that might look eccentric now, but were reasonable 3000 years ago. In Greece's history there are several themes that contributed to Greek mythology and reasons it developed. Once Greek mythology was established in the culture an interesting set of gods and beliefs evolved and continued to evolve for hundreds of years. A few of these gods that people are most likely to be familiar with are Hermes, Apollo and Zeus, so that is whom I will focus on. Hermes, also titled Mercury, is one of the most well known gods, not necessarily Greece, but in Rome. He is also one of the most liked deities. Hermes represents many, many things ranging from being the god of cunning to the messenger god. He was introduced into Roman mythology around 495 BC and his festival is on the 15th of May. He was undoubtedly a favorite of the gods. Even though Hermes was a very popular god, he was not a very important one.

(Later) His hair is short and crisp, his features fine; he carries his hand slightly inclined as though listening with friendly interest. Zeus's power, which included him as the Lord of the Sky, Rain God, God of Thunder, God of the Winds, and Cloud-Gatherer, was greater than that of all of the other gods and goddesses ascendancy combined. Apollo was the son of Zeus and Leto and twins with Artemis. Apollo was so mesmerized that he offered the rest of his flock to Hermes in a trade for it. " Once Hermes was born, he grew so rapidly that soon after his birth, he was able to kill a tortoise and make the first lyre from its shell. Third was the Bronze Age and still without procreative abilities.
