"Greek mythology" is a popular search term for academics. However, there is no academic consensus on what constitutes the canon of Greek mythology. Indeed, the term mythology seems to imply that such a subject deals with apocryphal historical accounts. Even so, the generally accepted religious beliefs of the ancient Greeks were embodied in Greek mythology, an anthropomorphic polytheism wherein the forces of nature were personified as deities. Greek mythology began as an oral tradition, but it reached its most definitive form in classical Greek literature where creative writers almost certainly took artistic license with the earlier oral traditions. Despite its dubious historical authenticity, this classical literature remains relevant to the modern world because it reflects the rationalism that characterized ancient Greek religious thought.
