Separation from ordinary human
experience
• Gods were part of mythic characters’ lives, but
rarely had contact with the poets or their
audiences. (So, a poet would not write about
Zeus coming to visit him. People in the
audience did not receive messages from
Athena.)
Destiny and Fate are important
• Oracles, prophesies, fate all play an important
role in mythic stories.
A reflection of culture
• Through myths, cultures often explore and
express the way people think about themselves
and the world. The myths therefore give us
insight into how the ancient Greeks and Romans
thought and felt about nature, society, gender,
and many other aspects of their culture.
