Answer 1

The key to a good myth story (especially a Greek one) is the struggle. They all involve a hero (the good guy) trying to do or get something. There are always harsh trials for the hero who must endure them to win the struggle. The things that get in the way of the hero are usually larger than life; sometimes monsters or the gods themselves. they mirror the things that a good person is supposed to have: moral fiber and bravery. A good setup is a hero who has some great talent. (strong, smart etc.) and have him trying to save a loved one, or gain an ancient artifact. Have this hero ask the gods for help. have one god who wants to help the hero. They shouldn't help directly but support the hero. Then have things like giant monsters, bad weather caused by an opposing god get in the way. The hero uses his strengths to over come the obstacles and get what he was looking for. You could have another Greek hero help the hero along the way, or include a group of peoples that the greeks knew (Persians, Amazons, Barbarians, Trojans etc.) maybe some one is rescued or the artifact recovered from these people? The most important thing is a creative interesting story. The myths are fun the read because there about fun exciting things and larder than life people (the sort of people we admire and want to be like.)

Answer 2

read a newspaper, any story could be the start. Was a house broken into, that could send someone out to recover a favorite item of the gods. Has a local team advanced in some sports tourney, maybe that was because someone was given supernatural athleticism. Was there a murder, the gods could help or hinder a relative on his/her journey for revenge.

the place do you think of the myths got here from? Moses wrote the 1st 5 books of the Bible long after the flood and the construction of Babel. Nimrod equipped the tower to objective to realize the heavens. God had given the command emigrate and populate the earth yet Nimrod had to construct his city and grow to be like God. He made himself a God and married his mom. the commencing up of all myths and pagan religions began here in Babel. while God perplexed the people's languages they had to scatter. They began emigrate over the completed earth. They took with them those myths and pagan teachings. maximum of them knew concerning the creation and the flood yet placed their own innovations to it. in many the religions of the worldwide you will discover thoughts of the flood, the nephilim or giants, the snake etc. They placed those down in writing previously Moses placed the 1st 5 books of the Bible into writing. it is the reason myths carry a number of an identical innovations because of the fact the Christian faith yet with their own twist.
