33 Myths about the Ancient Greek Gods for Kids

The ancient Greeks believed their gods often got involved in the lives of mortals, sometimes to help, sometimes to hinder, and sometimes quite accidentally, causing all kinds of trouble. According to the storytellers, the ancient Greek gods were not always the most thoughtful of magical beings.

That's because the ancient Greeks knew their gods well.
