The role of myths in society have changed in time. Myths are stories that were told in ancient Greece and Rome. Normally part of the story would be true but in some cases that is not always true. Myths can explain simple questions about life and the world people live in.
In ancient Greece people looked to the gods for everything. The people trusted in them and believed that they are real are real and helped them with everyday things. They put everything they believed in, into the gods. They hoped that the gods would help them win wars, have babies, etc.
Mythology today is studied in school. People usually don't worship the gods or even believe in them. Myths in todays day in age is used to explain simple questions. Questions that little kids ask like, "Why does it rain?", or "Why is the sky blue?". They answer questions with the word, "Why?".
