All cultures had myths and sometimes it is hard to understand them. Greek's myths are a beat more clear and they are beautiful.
The gods among all cultures were represented in many different ways. Greek's gods are more similar to humans. On one hand they seem to have a human body and, on the other hand, they seem to have human emotions and even human behavior.

This will be explain in another article, check on the bottom for links.
This is blog is to talk about those symbols and meaning. Ancient Greeks were amazing and it cannot be doubt about it.
