Is Greek Mythology still believed today?

Answer 1

Yes, by some pagans. I had a friend who worshipped Athena for a while, and was not a unique case. There aren't droves of people who still believe mythology, but there are some.

Answer 2

Yes. Pagans live by some great ancient Greek Mythology. It's a religion. Look up Pagan.

Answer 3

The word 'myth' means that the belief is unable to be tested or verified. The dictionary says "A traditional, typically ancient story dealing with supernatural beings, ancestors, or heroes that serves as a fundamental type in the worldview of a people"

So you see, these are stories/rituals that have been around for ages and are fiction - just stories. We can believe that they represent parts of culture, and therefore are useful for understanding, but basing your life in the belief systems of centuries ago is sure to be complicated. No one can verify what was true and what was made up over the centuries.

Maybe someone believes these myths from Ancient Greece, but I prefer to think of the stories as pictures to help in right living. Do good and you'll be rewarded, do bad and "the gods'll get ya."

Answer 4

That depends, now honestly I don't believe in the Greek gods. Yet I have had a scuffle with a Latin vampire, you know, the ones that take your nose off. He put up a damn good fight, but two rounds from a sawed-off shotgun to the face can be very persuasive.
Still, I've fought with vampires, werewolves, and even Asian creatures that have damn near killed me, yet I've seen very little of the Greek mythos to speak of. Perhaps it is due to the fact I've not hunted in the region. What I say is "believe what you like, but always keep a Colt 1911 under the pillowcase at night".

Yes, by some pagans. But they don't worship as they used to in ancient times. To difficult in todays world.

Answer 6

People may talk about it but the stories are about imaginary and supernatural characters, a bit like Narnia.
