I think they had a geocentric view of the solar system. Everything revolved around the Earth. So just build a mobile out of coat hangers and hang the Earth in the center and the planets and sun around it. Hope you get an A.

Type "heliocentric" and "geocentric" into wikipedia-- it's a good place to start, even if it's not a valid source. The Greeks mostly considered the earth to be at the center of the solar system (a geocentric model) but some philosophers looked into the heliocentric idea.

> Who thought up the concepts of the classic greeks? the classic Greeks. > how have been they proved incorrect? no longer all of them have been incorrect. Copernicus positioned forward a thought that the solar replaced into the centre of the universe, which replaced into examined via observations via Tycho Brahe, and quite often shown, after some refinements further via Kepler and Newton.

You want the Term: Cosmology, not Mythology.
This is the Study of the Structure of the Cosmos, not it's Gods.
Do a Search on Each society like:
Greek Cosmology
and you'll get what you need.

Try the source. I don't know what level of material you are looking for, and that source is a college lecture series I believe, but it is at a popular level, suitable for high school.

As I remember, their concept was that everything began all over again right from the beginning.

They all thought that the Earth was the centre of the universe.

Do not mean to be rude but can you say "Greek Mythology?"
