The Greek and Roman gods insist upon proper respect from mortals. Therefore when mortals claim to be equal to the gods or have the audacity to set themselves up as more significant than the gods or act insolently towards them, this attracts instant retribution.
There is no exact number of myths and world stories in the world, as new tales and stories are created all the time.
Additionally, many stories have been passed down orally for generations, and the exact origin of some of these myths and stories is still being determined.
Estimates suggest there could be as many as 10,000 different myths and world stories recorded and passed down over the centuries.
