Famous Myths
These people were famous for many things, such as their intelligence, their love for the people, and many other things. To this day people not just over seas know these myths very well. Unforntunately just because these people did good things for people or invented things, didn't save them from anything. Bad things also happened in their lives such as loosing their family members or going to jail for the people. They still kept on having faith on themselves and others, instead of loosing faith. People not only know about the myths, but how they felt and their actions. Enjoy learning about these people, we did. > Sources Used:
