Mythology: Greek Mythology

Mythology figures prominently in most religions, and most mythology is tied to at least one religion. Some use the words "myth" and "mythology" to portray the stories of one or more religions as false, or dubious at best. The term is most often used in this sense to describe religions founded by ancient societies, such as Roman mythology, Greek mythology, and Norse mythology, which were nearly extinct at one time. However, it is important to keep in mind that while some view the Norse and Celtic pantheons as mere fable, others hold them as a religion (See Neopaganism). By extension, many people do not regard the tales surrounding the origin and development of religions like Christianity, Judaism and Islam as literal accounts of events, but instead regard them as figurative representations of their belief systems.

"Age of Mythology," scheduled for U.S. release in the fall, transports players to a time when heroes battled with monsters of legend, and gods intervened in the affairs of mortals. Complete with both single-player and multiplayer capabilities, "Age of Mythology" enables gamers to create armies, develop civilizations over the ages, and manage economics through resource gathering and trade. The mythological excitement begins when players call upon the gods to act on their behalf or reinforce their armies by choosing from among more than 25 mythological creatures. The advanced 3-D engine developed by Ensemble Studios Inc. allows for incredible graphical detail and special effects in this real-time strategy (RTS) game based on ancient Greek, Norse and Egyptian mythologies.

This Wikibook is all about Mythology. As with Greek Mythology, when a section obtains enough content for it to be considered material for a book, it will be distended into a separate book that will only be linked to from here. Please only separate the subject of a culture's mythology into a separate book if it has a reasonable amount of content.
