Description
Like peoples throughout history, the ancient Greeks maintained largely fanciful stories about how the world, animals, and humans came to be. At the core of those tales were descriptions of the origins of the gods. Unlike many societies, which envisioned gods fashioning the universe, the Greeks held that the universe came first and gave birth to the gods--Amazon.

Description
Ancient Greek mythology is riddled with tales about natural phenomena. Among them are those that explain how the sun, stars, and other heavenly bodies supposedly came to be. Other myths dealt with the weather, including thunder, lightning, storms, and rainbows. The Greeks also believed that one or more gods were responsible for natural disasters, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and floods.
