 
Joseph Campbell once wrote that
myths are the dreams of the world
Myths have been connected to our
species since the dawn of civilization
and they are extremely important when we
want to understand a certain
era
For this video I chose the Greek
mythology but in the next few videos I
will try to cover the myths and legends of
other cultures
Greek mythology, as in other ancient
cultures,
was used as a means to explain
the environment in which humankind lived,
the natural phenomena they witnessed and
passing of time through the days
Myths were also connected to religion
in the Greek world
and explain the origin and lives of the gods
were humanity had came from and where it was going
after death
and gave advice on the best way to lead a
happy life
Finally, myths were used to re-tell historical events
so that people could maintain contact with
their ancestors,
the wars they fought and the places they explored
The primordial deities are the first entities or beings that come into existence.
they formed the very fabric of the
universe and as such
are immortal
The Primordials included Chaos(Void) Chronos(Time), Gaia (Earth)
and Uranus(Sky). These deities are a group of gods from which all the other gods
descended
They preceded the Titans, the descendants of Gaia
and Uranus.The first twelve Titans
include
Oceanus, Cronus, Crius
Tethys, Theia, Phoebe, Rhea, and Themis.
After Cronus overthrew his father Uranus,
the Titans ruled, with Cronus as their head.
Cronus is the father of the three most important gods
of greek mythology: Zeus, Hades
and Poseidon. A war was fought between
Titans and Gods,
but finally the gods triumphed with the aid of older powers.
The defeated Titans were hauled down to Tartarus and imprisoned there.
In Greek mythology, the Twelve Olympians are the major deities of the Greek
pantheon,
commonly considered to be Zeus, Hera
Poseidon
Demether, Athena, Apollo, Artemis
Ares, Aphrodite, Hephaestus,
Hermes and either Hestia, or Dionysus
Hades and Persephone were sometimes included
as part of the twelve Olympians although
in general
Hades was excluded because he resided
permanently in the underworld
The Heroes! The most famous being:
Hercules, Achilles, Jason, Perseus, and Theseus
but including a great many more. All
have divine parents and therefore bridge
the gap between mortals and gods.
They pursue fantastic adventures and epitomise ideal
qualities such as perseverance, for example
Hercules' twelve labours; or fidelity
for example, Penelope´s  waiting for her
faithfull
Odysseus. I hope you liked the video
and thanks for watching. See you soon!
