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]
Non-religious people often refer to Christian/Muslim/Jewish etc mythology in the same manner as Greek mythology, Norse mythology, etc. All religious beliefs/faiths are myths to non-believers or those who believe in other religions.
