The Unexplainable Government In Ancient Greece

Paragraph 1: What is the purpose of myths? What do they really teach us in todays age? Myths are important because they explain how a certain culture or region came to be. It is the act of verbally passing on knowledge through stories because myths are riddled with facts so the we can learn about the unexplainable. This the reason we need myths, it teaches us about certain cultural morals and tries to lead us in our daily encounters with the knowledged that we have learned.
Paragraph 2: The Archaic Period(800-500 BCE) is known for introducing a stable government in Greece such as a Republic(Mark, Joshua J. “Ancient Greece.”). By stabilizing their government, they were able to advance as a society and improved their way of living their lives.
Due to them introducing these ideals we now are able to prosper as a society. In Greece, people’s right was either decided by your sex or your job. Females didn’t have as much rights as male the ability to vote, own land, or inherit and were encouraged to stay at home and take care of their family. Assitori were the richest in the society and the perioikoi were the second class citizen(Mark, Joshua J. “Ancient Greece.”). The difference between the labourers and slaves were that the labourers were worked for an employer while slaves were either person of war or they were brought. In Ancient Greece, the greek religion was polyphemus, which is the belief in more than one god. They believed that their gods were like human with special abilities but they also had their shortcomings. The gods were created by humans to have a story of how the world came to be and they can to be.

Since, the gods still considered themselves all powerful they still required the humans living on
Ngai was especially proud of making the mountains because he believed that they had breathtaking scenic views. The first mountain that Ngai create was Mount Kenya and he decided that he would need someone or something to take care of this new world he had created, so he created a strange animal with opposable thumbs and gave it the name Gikuyu and told him his task(Peter J Allen, Chas Saunders. “Ngai-African Creator God”). When Ngai left earth, he would place Gikuyu and his wife Mumbi to take care of his creation and they were not to call on him for help at all. Gikuyu and Mumbi started to reproduce but only gave birth nine daughters. Even though they knew the consequence of calling upon Ngai while he was gone, they prayed and asked for a male offspring (Peter J Allen, Chas Saunders. “Ngai-African Creator God”). Since Ngai only made expectations for urgent matters, he gave them nine husbands to mate with the nine daughters to start polluting the earth. The big idea addressed in this myth is how the humans, animals, the world, and the world’s geography came to be. This myth does demonstrate any values or morals really, but on could be how caring because Gikuyu and Mumbi cared for the children and the world. Another on could be kindness because Ngai says he does not want to be disturbed but when Gikuyu and Mumbi ask for help he provides them with nine
