The information provided by the Metropolitan Museum of Art helps me to understand more about how Greeks worshiped the Gods. It helps me explain in my project the relationship between humans and gods and the way they are expressed in art. It provides extra information about religion on the Greeks and their Gods, such as how many Gods there are, the religious practices on worshiping the Gods, and the sacred places and rituals performed.

Based on the US History website, it provides a lot of information on the Gods and the ways humans, the ancient Greeks, saw them and worshiped them. It also explains how the Gods fought like humans and were in conflicts like humans. Human interactions with Gods lead to conflicts and wars because the Gods were emotional, immoral, and their behavior was inconsistent. It helps my project by providing information on how the Gods were in conflicts with humans and had human characteristics.

This is useful information for my project when explaining the relationship between the Gods and humans and their interactions.

This article is useful since my project consists of finding the connection between art and the interaction of humans and Gods.
