However, mortal heroes were no less respected than semi-gods. Some of the mortals even exceeded semi-gods in terms of bravery and reputation. Regardless of their origin, these heroes accomplished many great tasks and even tasks thought being impossible to accomplish. Because of the deeds, they had done and helping humanity to progress, they were favoured by the gods. If enough favours were gained or devotion showed, the gods would even help the heroes by either giving them wisdom or intervening themselves with their powers. The ancients Greeks were polytheistic — that is, they worshipped many gods. Their major gods and goddesses lived at the top of Mount Olympus, the highest mountain in Greece, and myths described their lives and actions. In myths, gods often actively intervened in the day-to-day lives of humans. Myths were used to help explain the unknown and sometimes teach a lesson. For example, Zeus, the king of the gods, carried his favorite weapon, the thunderbolt. When it rained and there was thunder and lightning, the ancient Greeks believed that Zeus was venting his anger. Many stories about how the Greek gods behaved and interacted with humans are found in the works of Homer. He created two epic poems: the Iliad , which related the events of the Trojan War, and the Odyssey , which detailed the travels of the hero Odysseus.

    Cyprus: Anemoi\Te and Myrtle!

    http://akroterion.journals.ac.za/ CYPRUS: ANEMOI\TE AND MYRTLE! Wisam Mansour, Eastern Mediterranean University, Famagusta, North Cyprus Spring after spring, beautiful nature in the land of Aphrodite softly sings the melodious, exotic, and sad myths of ancient Cyprus. How many a tourist or visitor venturing through the Aden-like landscape decked with the delicate jewels of Persephone, would tune his ears to the whispering sound of the anemones and marjoram telling their eternal tale of passion, love and suffering? How many would, with their sharp eyes, notice the pearl-like tears of the myrtle, confirming with the language of silence, the whispered tales of the anemones and the marjoram. Pink and white cyclamen, elecampane, sedges, basil, balsam, thyme and rosemary are the everlasting audiences and witnesses to the ancient myths that were once enacted around Salamis, Karpass, Amathus, Paphos, to mention but a few names; myths that are still carried around with the gentle sighs of the breeze. One of these myths, still narrated every spring with the sighs of the breeze and the mime of the anemone and the myrtle, is that of Pygmalion and his issue. With a heart beating like the fluttering wings of the larks and sparrows descending from the heights of Kantara and Mount Olympus, young Pygmalion beseeched Aphrodite to send him a wife similar to the beautiful ivory statue he had made:2 If that you goddes can all things give, then let my wife (I pray) (He durst not say bee yoon same wench of ivory, but) be leeke My wench of ivory (Ovid, Metamorphoses X.298) Aphrodite was very quick in answering Pygmalion's prayers: upon arnvmg home, he embraced his statue, and to his great pleasure the perfect woman he carved from ivory was throbbing with life and with warmth: .
