I believe it i also consider it awesome but is it humane or even god-like some of the acts of heroism in these stories define physical possibility and more so i would like to hear opinions.

Greek Mythology is one of my favorite topics to study, and the way heroes do things is also just astounding. Sorry to break it to you though, but Greek MYTHOLOGY is just Myths

Next time you post something like this, add a few examples, or something, to give your post a little substance.

For example I find some ancient Greek stories very interesting, not to say I believe them, but I find them interesting, but yet I find some of them completely ridiculous, and are literally bed time stories for children.

But I do not know which stories you believe, or find interesting, or even KNOW. This makes it much harder for me to give you a useful reply.

Yeah it would be nice to know which ones you're referring to.
Pandora's Box for instance... all the bad released into the world as well as one last little thing that said it's name was Hope?
I doubt it.

To me, Greek Mythology is like the Marvel or DC Universes.
Awesome to read about, but complete fiction.

I don't understand how people can put down Greek beliefs so quickly. There is no proof in god, or Jesus being a Prophet, but billions of people believe it none the less. I am not saying I believe in Greek Mythologies. I just don't understand how people are able to blatantly say "No, you are wrong, I am right" when they have absolutely no proof that either side is right or wrong.

I think its more of people saying "No, I don't believe in any of it, but not disproving it." I like Egyptian Mythology more though. But just because things sound hard to believe and completely outrageous does not make it automatically false. Like Atlantis. It would be hard to believe that a city sunk, but we only discovered around 5% of the ocean, so it would be hard to accept that it doesn't exist, but thats just my opinion.
