I found this article while reading the New York Times and found it to be extremely interesting. It discussed how mythology is not particularly just myth as a result of archaeological findings. Old bones, pottery, and other artifacts prove that beings which are described in greek myth actually may have existed. This made me think of Dinosaurs, which are also proved to have existed through remains, which are extremely incredible animals. To think they once existed could be on the same level as thinking that mythological individuals once existed, however, we automatically believe that Dinosaurs once roamed earth before us due to the geological and archeological evidence.
This article as a whole, was very interesting to read and pertained to Greek Mythology.
