At the beginning where it says "the lives and activities of deities, heroes, and mythological creatures, and the origins and significance of the ancient Greeks' own cult and ritual practices." 2600:1700:9580:845F:3D24:F30C:ABE0:76DB (talk) 17:46, 11 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

Citation 3 "Greek Mythology" leads to "Page not found". Removing the trailing slash from the link fixes it.

Religion not mythology edit

Who called it mythology? It was their religion, their faith and their Gods the Greeks were praying to. It is wrong and unfair to call it mythology. 49.190.240.166 (talk) 06:16, 29 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

The ancient Greek peoples, like many other ancient peoples, had both a set of more or less common religious practices, rituals and beliefs, which we call their "religion" (see Ancient Greek religion) and a set of more or less common myths, stories, folklore, and legends, which we call their "mythology". The latter is what this article is about. While there is some not inconsiderable overlap between the two, they are considered to be distinct. So as regards "their religion" we are not as you assert calling it mythology. Paul August 12:01, 29 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
