<h1>🌟 Myths in Our World Today</h1>
<h2>Week 7 &bull; Thursday &bull; Greek Stories All Around Us</h2>



<section class="lesson-section">

<h3>📖 Reading Time</h3>
<div class="reading-box">

<p>Greek myths are hiding all around you! Have you heard of Nike sneakers? <strong>Nike</strong> was the Greek goddess of victory. The Amazon river and a famous website are named after the <strong>Amazons</strong>, mythical warrior women. Even the month names and many star groups come from these old stories.</p>

<p>Words from myths live in our language too. A long journey is called an <strong>odyssey</strong>, after Odysseus's ten-year trip home. A person's weak spot is an 'Achilles' heel,' named for the hero Achilles, who could only be hurt on his heel!</p>

<p>Movies, cartoons, and books still retell Greek myths — stories about Hercules, Medusa, and the gods of Olympus. Why do these stories last thousands of years? Because they are about things we all know: courage, cleverness, mistakes, and adventure.</p>
