Greek Mythology

After the Creation of the work from chaos, and Zeus overthrowing the Titans and the Olympians taking over the Ruling of the Universe... there was the story of Prometheus and Epimetheus... then of course Pandora and "the box"....

Check out this link to an animated, graphic novel site.... This is the same site that we will use later when we create our own myths...
