What about Greek mythology?

Both are myth.
Just in case you're reading this and disagree out of habit, Dictionary.com gives this definition for "myth".
"myth
-noun
1. a traditional or legendary story, usually concerning some being or hero or event, with or without a determinable basis of fact or a natural explanation, esp. one that is concerned with deities or demigods and explains some practice, rite, or phenomenon of nature.
2. stories or matter of this kind: realm of myth. "
If anything qualifies as having an "indeterminable basis in fact", being "concerned with deities", and explaining some "phenomenon of nature" it's the biblical story about the world we live in and it's alleged creation by the God of Abraham.
Even if you deludedly believe the bible to be the literal truth, you must acknowledge that the beginning of the book of Genesis is, according to this definition, a MYTH- just the same as any other creation story. So is the rest of the "good book".
The rather un-surprising reason for this is:
1)The bible is fictional. (and...)
2)The God of Abraham is imaginary.

I believe in God and I don't know any thing about Greek Mythology. I am not interested in Greek Mythology.

No Greek mythology. I believe %100 in God and nothing will ever change my mind.

Would you glorify the enemies of the ONE true God on this forum? They had their gods on Mount Olympus. You can read about them all you want in the Greek mythology stories, and the book of Enoch, who had his testimony. See Genesis 10, where it states that Enoch had his testimony, and walked with God and he was not, . . .
Why do you think that God deliberately caused the book of Enoch to be left OUT of His Holy Bible?! So as not to GLORIFY Lucifer and his fallen band of angels! Is it not enough that these evil, wicked beings are briefly mentioned in the books of Isaiah 14, and in Ezekiel 28?! In Job 1 the 'Sons of God' (Mount Olympians?) are given enough mention! Yes that is some truth to the ancient Sumerian, Babylonian, and Greek myths, but, better you concentrate your time learning of the good, and noble and perfect ways of a righteous God, . . .Jehovah!

Not me nor most of my friends. As Dr. House said on "House", there is no god or else he's extremely cruel.
Watch House--he's the only atheist doctor on TV.
I love Greek mythology and have taught my kids most of it.
Great poem:
"When eras die their legacy
Is left to strange police.
Professors in New England
Guard the glory that was Greece."

I believe in GOD. Not "gods." "What about Greek mythology?" What about it? Key word: MYTHOLOGY.
