Mask of AgamemnonBefore the 19th century, most scientiststhought that the Trojan War was pure myth. But one day the rich German-American businessman turned amateur archaeologist, Heinrich Schliemann, found evidence for Bronze Age Greece and convinced many that there really was a Trojan War. Starting in 1871, he dug at Troy, where he uncovered a rich (but rather small) city; he then dug at Mycenae, where he found further rich remains, including a set of funeral masks. Schliemann was convinced that the mask above, because of its nobility, must be that of Agamemnon; Schliemann took this as evidence the Trojan Warwas a real historical event. He telegraphed to the king of Greece "I have gazed upon the face of Agamemnon”

Zeus as bullDo you remember the story about Europe and Zeus?
“ Europa and her companions went to their favorite meeting place. It was very fashionable for princesses to go with other maidens to a secret bathing river and pick flowers. Zeus caught sight of Europa from Mt.Olympus and fell in love with her beauty, as she was the fairest of all the maidens. He, being cautious, appeared to Europa as a bull; but not such a one as you might see grazing in a field, but a magnificent one, so gentle and so lovely. Europa drew near to the bull. It lowed so musically and so melodiously that she continued drawing nearer. He laid down at her feet. Smiling she sat on his back. Quickly he leaped up and at full speed, rushed to the sea shore, and then to the wide water.
Zeus took Europe to Crete, his favorite island, where the Seasons, the gatekeepers of Olympus, arrayed for her bridal attire. There she gave birth to Minos and Rhadamanthus. Minos became King of Crete and both later became two of the three judges of the Underworld. Thus the continent Europe received its name.
The report of “Europe” in this fable gives more gravity in the statement that the European culture began from Crete

Golden-fleeced RamAries, the Ram, was placed in the heavens by Jupiter to honor the Ram for his heroism in saving the children from King Athamus' first marriage to Nephele. King Athamus ruled Boetia, a province of Greece. He had two children with Nephele; a son, Phrixus, and a daughter, Helle. Phrixus and Helle spent their time tending to their flock of sheep which including the Ram with the golden fleece. The golden fleeced ram was given to Nephele as a present from the god Hermes (Mercury). King Athamus eventually tired of Nephele and abandoned her. He took a new wife, Ino, and they had two sons. Ino was very jealous of Phrixus and Helle, and plotted a way to have them destroyed. Her plan was to create a famine in the province by having the women roast the corn seed before planting it. By doing this there would be no crops. When the famine took place, the King wanted to know the cause and sought the answer from the Oracle of Delphi. The King sent a messenger but the messenger was bribed by Ino into telling the King that the crops would not grow until his children Helle and Phrixus were sacrificed to the god Jupiter. In order to save his people, the King was willing to do this. In the meantime, Nephele (mother of Helle and Phrixus) received news of the plot. She went to the golden Ram and begged him to save her children. The Ram agreed and told the children of their danger. He told them to climb on his back; he would fly them across the strait that divides Europe and Asia and take them away from the danger. During the crossing, Helle became dizzy and fell off the Ram's back and drowned. The strait where she drowned is known today as Hellespoint. Phrixus was carried to safety to Colchis. Phrixus sacrificed the golden ram to Jupiter in thanks. Jupiter then placed the Ram in the stars to honor his good deed.
