Magical creatures of
greek mythology
Greek mythology is
certainly one of the first forms of fiction, complete and impressive
in quantity and quality. Its pages are full of dozens of species of
creatures that form a complicated, almost strange, family tree. One
more reason for starting with our own mythology is its relation to
many contemporary creatures, such as fairies, which, as we are soon
to discover, continue the story of the nymphs. We can say a lot about
Greek mythology, but we can also let its protagonists unravel its
profile.
