Detailed explanation-1: -What are the characteristics of a myth? While all myths are different, myths as such attempt to explain everyday phenomena. They typically involve gods or deities with supernatural powers, may or may not contain a hero or someone on a quest, and were passed down through oral tradition.
Detailed explanation-2: -Stories of the gods and goddesses and their adventures were told in myths. The Greeks did not believe that gods and goddesses were all-powerful. They did have special powers, but they were just as flawed as humans. The gods and goddesses married humans, had children, fought wars, and argued with each other.
Detailed explanation-3: -The story of Persephone and Hades is one of the most iconic nature-explaining stories. The traditional form of the story is as follows: Persephone was the daughter of Zeus (the patriarch of the Greek pantheon) and Demeter (the goddess of agriculture), and was a beautiful young maiden, whose hand was much desired.
