How do we know about Greek Mythology?
Although many stories were told orally in the beginning, there were great Greek writers who wrote down various versions of the stories in the form of poems, plays, legends etc. One famous writer was Homer who wrote the Odyssey and the Iliad. Another was Hesiod, the poet. The following sites are sources of some of the original writing.
