Greek Mythology part 1

I just saw Clash of the Titans the other day and it really got me to thinking "Could these people actually existed?" seems to be a fair question to ask but to find this answer out will take some time but let us look at some baseline facts for a start. There are statues and bust all over the world of these Gods and they all look quite similar let us take Zeus for example. OK now that you have seen similarities, realize that there are Hundreds of statues like this all over the world, the same beard, same bone structure, same robe.

Now I am not really asking did the God Zeus REALLY exist, what I am saying is did a man with whom was such a great leader the people thought of him as a God? so I decided to look into it.

Now according to many Greek Theologists and Religious sects throughout Greece and the world he existed before the world began. He was also known as Jupiter. Now I know what some of you are thinking "Well God created heavens and the stars" fine please read my post on Religion. But we also know one interesting fact and that is Zeus had been worshiped by the ancient Indo- European cultures. Which means people like Socrates, Homer (not the dude from the Simpsons) and Aristotle worshiped him and all of this was from 730BC to 369BC.

As I keep reading on and on about this subject (it has been 2 days) the mystery gets deeper and deeper. Zeus's Grandparents were Gaia (the earth, also known as mother nature) and Uranus (the sky) which is making me wonder if the Greeks were actually worshiping planets. So far we have Earth, Uranus and Jupiter.

Now Zeus's parents Cronus and Rhea were interesting. They are the first generation Titans. Cronus is actually mentioned in the Hebrew bible as Kronos (Same Person). Cronus castrated his own father and had a fear that the same would happen to him so he ate his children (all 5) but when Rhea decided to keep their last sibling (Zeus) the 6th child she wrapped a rock up and fed him that instead. Later on in life Zeus was able to have Cronus bring back his siblings and then over threw his father.

Okay so what does this have to do with anything, ahhh the beauty of a blog... Look I have done a lot of reserch over the years on Greek Mythology. I am NO expert, but it seems that no matter what I read, no matter what I look at the story and pictures are all the same. So I must ask this question... Could it all have been real? How can a story be written so perfectly. There is no need for a government cover up and there is no secrets to hide. If all of the world knows of this and accepts it as myth then why is the story never been embellished over thousands of years. the story is perfect, hard to poke holes into, there seems to be answers for everything. Every question you can think of. Even Zeus's death is answered. "For he cannot die he is a God however, in the real world, when people came to accept Christianity, the beliefs on the gods and goddesses vanished. People started to forget worshiping Zeus and the other Olympians and this became the end of their reign on the minds of men and they simply vanished.

Part 2 coming soon......
