  7. What questions do you have about this genre?
    I wonder if in Greece since mythology came from Greece... if in Greece they still believe in mythology?
    What do you already know about mythology?
    I know that it isn't true and is like a fable. People these days still believe in it. It has to do with goddess's and stuff like that.

  8. How were these stories passed down through so many generations?
    Greek mythology was passed down by word of mouth. Adults told their kids, who told their kids, and so on.
    What questions do you have about this genre?
    I don't know. Well, is it a religion or just stories, like our Little Red Riding Hood? Why did they think this was real?
    What do you already know about mythology?
    I know there are gods, and the stories are passed down by word of mouth. The Greeks used it and they aren't real, just stories. There are gods of different things.

  9. Question 1: These stories were passed down through many ways by word of mouth, not by actual picture and chapter books like we do today!
    Question 2: I do not really have any questions about this genre but, why wouldn't have like types of votes about the Gods because some people did probably believe that their was only one God.
    Question 3: I know that a lot pf people did believe that their were more than only one God. People had passed down a lot of stories becuase that is how we know all of these facts now today.
