Okay hello. It's Greek mythology. Edith Hamilton is saying basically nothing about life. She's just a writer retelling these classic stories. She didn't create the book, she's just portraying events that have already been made. There is no main character...not even Zeus.
"Mythology" is a compilation of many of Greek myths, and therefore OF course there's more than one main character. All of them have weaknesses and strengths.
What things that happen to the character happen in real life? About nothing. Narcissus was turned into a flower, but in real life people don't turn into flowers. You have to interpret what mythology tells you as a lesson to learn. Arachne was turned into a spider, but in real life people don't turn you into spiders. Many times, characters in mythology don't solve problems. They leave it as a lesson to learn, like a fable. There might not be a good ending, but they were created for some kind of use.
Read the book and enjoy.

Are you on crack? More than one character? Of course there is. That book is a summary of all the major mythology myths. There are THOUSANDS OF CHARACTERS. I recommend either spending the time to actually read it or go buy the cliff notes. Or try spark notes on the internet. Good luck, you are going to need it And for the record, it covers Greek, Roman, and Norse mythology

Some feminists will manifest being sure of their messages, do they make sure it is not only nature speaking up a fart or a nut? It can be a wonderfull thing (we all know) to be recipient of a mistery shown, it just does not happen because of time elapse, most wont agree with this because it is result of suffering and illumination. Yet response is certain because in the nick of denial truth shows in the body denying the nature provided by the person to enable him (or her) to see beyond cram. Now character is slain or slang for thought, something most women dont carry around for sake of doubt of happiness. Sorry there. Are you able to close your eyes to solve a puzzle in front with enough discipline and love to avoid cheating and stressing defeat of effort? some say character is dismissing others personalities and enclosing sole acknowledgement, is that possible to make? some will say yes, no doubt, we all know reasoning, intuition and truth are neccesary to achieve knowledge. True love and peace of mind shall provide more than illusions of grandeur and petty thinking, it is obvious to most (I assure you) character is a result of discipline, care for family and friends, and very efforted enlightenment. Peace out.

What book are you talking about? You neglected to tell us. I assume you are talking about a Mythology book? Greek Mythology? Roman?
If this is for school you might have more luck asking those who have already read it to help you study.

I think you should the word mythology in the dictionary. Your question doesn't really make sense. Try again after looking in the dictionary. Sorry never heard of the book you mentioned.

I have no idea what you're talking about, but I think you should actually try reading the book you're assigned instead of cheating on your homework.
