Greek Mythology

Several possibly theses. I may want to take the influence on modern fiction and literature. Though it wasn't so back then, Greek Mythology really was some of the first fiction. It's focus on morality, good and evil, and dozens of other aspects are still in use now in modern fiction. Another possibility is the many ways the Greeks tried to explain the huge world around them. They didn't have the scientific information that we have now to show them things like why the sun sets and why the oceans move in such ways. Really this was the focus of the entire religion. The gods which they worshiped controlled the aspects of nature that didn't make sense to them. They thought lightning was Zeus's ultimate weapon. They thought that Apollo would raise the sun every morning with a golden chariot, and they believed that the rainbow was really just Iris the messenger of the gods. I also want to look into something that I sort of stumbled upon accidentally. Something called the GREEK DARK AGES. The entire society fell because of a fail in government, a bad economy, and a few pillagers. By the time Greece fell literature, art, music, it was all gone. It has, of course, been rebuilt, but not to what it once was. The last possibility for a thesis is the idea of a focal point. Not in Greece, but in Mythology. Something that led to everything else. Obviously in the beginning there was nothing but Chaos, and no life could have been brought forth without Eros the lord of love. He bound from Chaos Gaia (Earth) and Uranus (Sky), and from them was born everything. Obviously was this Creation to have taken place without Eros? No. I don't mean to have Eros as my focal point because that's too simple. Prometheus? Pandora? Atlas? Aphrodite? Someone here changed everything, and if I can find information to support that. I have my thesis.
