Myths have long existed to explain humanity's existence. The ancient Greeks worshipped gods like Zeus who had absolute power but admired humans. Zeus was known for seducing women and generating demigod descendants like Perseus. These half-human, half-divine beings were seen as inspirational. The gods, though powerful, were often indistinguishable from humans in form and personality. The brothers Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades divided control of the skies, seas, and underworld after overthrowing their father Chronos. Each realm has been ruled by these gods ever since, with sailors praying to Poseidon and mortals meeting Hades in the underworld after death.
