Greek Mythology

The religion of the ancient Greeks is very well known. It is not uncommon in the Western world to read the tales of their gods in school. The Greek religion has been wonderfully preserved in the exceptional works by such poets as Homer and Hesiod. The works by Homer, the "Iliad" and the "Odyssey", are most popular. This religion grants insight into the gods. In this acnient fresco Eros is being punished by Venus. [BM] {ED}
