Mythology and Greek Mythology in general have always fascinated me and it was really fun curating some of the finest quotes from the world of Gods and Heroes . So let’s dive into it .This segment includes both quotes about the Greek Mythology and quotes from the mouths of the Legends and the Myths themselves. I have included 10 quotes here and this will be continued in later segments.

1. “In beauty of face no maiden ever equaled her. It was the radiance of an opium-dream - an airy and spirit-lifting vision more wildly divine than the fantasies which hovered about the slumbering souls of the daughters of Delos.” ~ Edgar Allan Poe , Ligeia.

2. “The wine god sighed. Oh Hades if I know. But remember, boy, that a kind act can sometimes be as powerful as a sword. As a mortal, I was never a great fighter or athlete or poet. I only made wine. The people in my village laughed at me. They said I would never amount to anything. Look at me now. Sometimes small things can become very large indeed. He left me alone to think about that. And as I watched Clarisse and Chris singing a stupid campfire song together, holding hands in the darkness, where they thought nobody could see them, I had to smile.” ~ Rick Riordan ,The Battle of the Labyrinth (Percy Jackson and the Olympians

3 . “But he who neither thinks for himself nor learns from others, is a failure as a man.” ~ Hesiod, Works and Days and Theogony

4. “Take courage, my heart: you have been through worse than this. Be strong, saith my heart; I am a soldier; I have seen worse sights than this.” ~ Homer, The Odyssey

5. "Well, they're just fine. You know, a little dark, a little gloomy. And, as always, hey, full of dead people." ~ Hades

6. “Hate is a bottomless cup.” ~ Euripides, Medea

7. "Traveling through space is for the birds. I'm bored ... should have brought the wife." ~ Poseidon, the Okeanos Pantheon. - Yelle Hughes

8. "I have no desire to suffer twice, in reality and then in retrospect."; ~ Sophocles, Oedipus Rex

9. “ Tragedy is born of myth, not morality. Prometheus and Icarus are tragic heroes. Yet none of the myths in which they appear has anything to do with moral dilemmas. Nor have the greatest Greek tragedies. If Euripides is the most tragic of the Greek playwrights, it is not because he deals with moral conflicts but because he understood that reason cannot bethe guide of life. ” ~ John Nicholas Gray

10. “Zeus, first cause, prime mover; for what thing without Zeus is done among mortals?” ~ Aeschylus, Agamemnon
