Greek Myths And Rituals

Myths are parables that have been handed down throughout history, often you can recall them from our earlier ancestors. Myths were often told to us through verbal communications, this helped us to understand the unknown. These parables were told to us by different groups of people such as the Romans, Greeks, Egyptians, and the Indians, the Holy Bible and the Qur’an. These beliefs have been linked to religious beliefs and rituals. Rituals are activities involving words, objects, and gestures that are performed in certain places. Some of the Romans myths were “Jupiter and the Bee, Jupiter, Juno, and the Little Io, Pluto and the King, Minerva and Neptune,” just to name a few.
