The need to understand the world has been the motivation behind human innovation and progress. Before the development of the tools necessary to discover scientific facts, creativity and imagination were employed to fashion answers that explained a world beyond comprehension.

Greek mythology spanned much of the Bronze Age in western civilization, which lasted from approximately 3000 BC to 1200 BC. It was the first time people attempted to use metal for tools and art.

As the stories of the gods were developed over time, humans could not resist interacting with them.
