We are taught in schools that Greek mythology was just that --a bunch of myths made up by ignorant people who were trying to explain the world around them. Thunder? The god Zeus was angry. Love? Cupid struck again. Feeling angry and war-like? Ares must be close by. But who's to say that their tales of gods and heroes weren't based on actual beings who fulfilled those roles? If you choose to believe in beings with wings who perform miracles, and that a virgin can magically become pregnant and give birth to a demigod, then I choose to believe in Athena, goddess of wisdom, and Aphrodite, goddess of beauty.
