Myths were at the heart of ancient Greek life and culture. They held a central place in poetry at public and private festivals, and were told and retold by the poets, changing and developing as time went by, and from the sixth century BC onwards forming the subject of gripping dramas played out on the tragic stage. But these myths were more than mere stories. To the Greeks they were history, telling of real people in the real past; and a man's genealogy, often originating from a divine mythical ancestor, showed his place in
the world and his relation to the great heroes of myth.
