Introduction
What is Lightning? What Causes it? What causes the sun to rise and
the moon to change its shape? Today, we have scientific answers to
such questions. Long ago, however, people created answers. They
explained many mysteries of nature and human life with stories called
myths. Some of the most imaginative myths come to us from the early
Greeks. Myths helped the early Greeks to understand the world, nature,
life, and death. Some explained how something happened in the world,
and showed human feelings. Even today, myths are exciting stories,
some of the best ever told.
