  I know "Myth" -ology. But if its false, then why like the people around the world like so into it. Isn't it weird? its like they make it so true. With medusa and all? and the greeks achilles and such. Its sounded like its almost true and it did happened a long time ago. BC time probably.

   

  Anyone here having thoughts about this?

  Let me tell you how greek medusa legend came about !!!

  Someone in ancient time experiment with hairstyle.
  Suddenly someone came up with the hairstyle as below - remember last time no street lamps. possible at dim light would have shock some folks - who run away without taking a good look.

  As word pass around curve locks become snakes !!!

  Yep this is how medusa came about !!!

  Greek Mythology to them is like Aliens to believers of extraterrestrial beings.

  Even if Hercules, Achilles, Medusa, Zeus are real, they are possibly stories of mortals like you and me just exaggerated.

  is there a sun god or a thunder god? now that we have the knowledge of science, we know these are definately myths.

  and the story of how archilles have his weak point...the heals? it's coz his mum dipped him in this magical water, holding his heals. so he got his stone skin, except for his heals that was not touched by the water. sounds sensible but yet unbelievable.

  oh and i luv troy the movie...coz with all the hunks and beauties in the show, who wun luv it? lol.
