Since the beginning of history, mankind has tried to explain their origin, being Greek myths one of the most complex stories told about our origins. Greek myths included gods in their stories. These gods have a lot in common with humans, such as being good or bad; this made gods able to make mistakes. In addition, their stories involve human feelings like love, hate, deceive; and above all, they are shown as angry gods, that can vaporize human beings if they wanted to. To add more confusion, some people, especially philosophers, used the myths as a basis supporting their own ideas about mankind, and how people had to behave if they did not want to make the gods angry with them. F o r a l l t h e s e r e a s o n s , historians are not able to show us a coherent story that involves all Greek myths and their vision of mankind.
