In Greek myths, women usually present negative and troublesome symbols so the causes of wars or fights written in myths were started by females. But I do not agree women always present a danger, problem or obstacle in the Greek myths. Ancient Greek Mythology in Homer’s books means little stories that created by imagination but inside the story, there was something to learn about and reflect the situation and problems the society was showing at that time.
