    Greek and Roman mythology have shaped the foundations of Western storytelling, philosophy, and culture. These ancient tales, passed down through oral tradition and later recorded in literary works, offer insights into the values, fears, and aspirations of early civilizations. From grand cosmic battles to intimate tales of love and betrayal, mythology provided explanations for the unknown, offering a lens through which people understood the forces of nature, the origins of humanity, and the complexities of the divine.  
  
At the heart of these myths lies a shared heritage, where Greek legends influenced Roman adaptations, blending gods, heroes, and moral lessons into a unified tradition. The Romans, deeply admiring Greek culture, adopted much of its mythology, renaming deities and incorporating new interpretations that reflected their own beliefs and societal structure. While Zeus became Jupiter, and Aphrodite transformed into Venus, the core themes remained intact—struggles for power, quests for glory, and the enduring consequences of mortal actions.  
  
The power of myth extends far beyond antiquity. Stories of gods and heroes continue to resonate, inspiring literature, art, and modern media. From Shakespearean tragedies to contemporary films and novels, the motifs of Greek and Roman mythology persist, illustrating timeless themes of ambition, fate, and redemption. Whether through the trials of Heracles, the cunning of Odysseus, or the tragic love of Orpheus and Eurydice, these tales remain relevant, reflecting the human condition in ways that transcend time and geography.

    The Olmec people are widely recognized as the first major civilization of Mexico and are thus generally regarded as the mother civilization of Mesoamerica, making them the people from which all subsequent Mesoamerican cultures derived. In fact, the term Olmec is thought to have originated with the Aztec people, as Olmec in their Nahuatl language means “the rubber people”, a reference to the inhabitants of the land from which they accessed rubber. By and large, the Olmec culture is perhaps best identifiable by their so-called colossal heads, mammoth basalt head-statues wearing helmet-like headdresses found throughout Olmec habitation sites. 
	From the moment Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes first found and confronted them, the Aztecs have fascinated the world, and they continue to hold a unique place both culturally and in pop culture. Nearly 500 years after the Spanish conquered their mighty empire, the Aztecs are often remembered today for their major capital, Tenochtitlan, as well as being fierce conquerors of the Valley of Mexico who often engaged in human sacrifice rituals. Ironically, and unlike the Mayans, the Aztecs are not widely viewed or remembered with nuance, in part because their own leader burned extant Aztec writings and rewrote a mythologized history explaining his empire’s dominance less than a century before the Spanish arrived.  
	While scholars continue to debate whether the Toltec were an actual historical group, there is an added layer of mystery to the fact that the settlement at Tula has a lot in common with the famous Mayan settlement at Chichén Itzá. The architecture and art at both sites are so similar that archaeologists and anthropologists have assumed they had the same cultural influences, even as historians struggle to determine the historical timelines, and thus whether Tula influenced Chichén Itzá or vice versa.
