Explanation:

Greek Myths doesn't show us how to be heroic, or how people can act foolishly. Although Greek Myths, as many other myths from the different mythologies, teach us about certain nuances of the humanity, this paragraph talks about how Greek Myths tell us about how Greeks perceived the idea of being Greeks, what it meant to be Greek, the values of Greek people and their ideals.
