SOYOUWANNA KNOW ABOUT IMPORTANT ANCIENT GREEK POETS?

The two main myth-writing guys were Hesiod and Homer.

Hesiod, who lived during the 7th Century B.C., wrote a poem called The Generation of the Gods. His poem explains the origins of the immortal Greek gods. According to Hesiod, the gods live at the summit of a mountain called Mount Olympus. In the poem, many gods represent a part of the natural universe. For example, the first gods were Uranus, a male god signifying heaven and Gaea, a female god signifying Earth.
Homer lived in the late 8th Century B.C. He wrote two very influential epic poems that helped to define mythology: The Iliad and The Odyssey, which chronicled events during the Trojan War. His poems take place in Greek cities like Corinth, Thebes and Athens, and spoke of human characters with names like Agamemnon, Menelaus and Achilles. Though not gods, the stories of these characters' lives were considered to be myths and were further dramatized by Greek dramatists such as Sophocles, Euripides, and Aeschylus. His stories were about murder, adultery, incest, power struggles, and love.
