Yes, the Greek gods could travel through space--they had access to cold fusion and Hyper Ion Drives, but they refused to share those gifts with mortals: Prometheus had already given enough by then with his fire.
And there's a reason why the volcano on Mars is called Olympus Mons: after Zeus overthrew Cronus and the Titans, he relocated the gods from Mt. Olympus to that volcano. Olympus Mons means "Super Mountain" in Greek. The gods' inbred descendants are the ones that played against Michael Jordan and Bugs Bunny in Space Jam.

Yeah, the Greeks believe that the Gods could use quantum waves to fly through space, of course they all knew they couldn't fly faster than light, their computers were able to tell them that anyways.

Hard to tell if you are serious or joking.
Originally posted by Time ImmemorialThey could go virtually anywhere the Greeks imagined, since this was all a product of human imagination. However, it is doubtful their conception of space is like ours today ... anymore than our conception of space today will resemble what is known 3000 years from now.
Was it ever discussed is the gods in mythology could leave earth and travel through space?
"Mom, could the ancient superheroes fly through space?"

Since they all studied and where aware of the stars and constellations I didn't know if the gods existed anywhere else to them besides Mt. Olympus but since the stories are written based of earthly where abouts I guess its unlikely they thought much of anything else besides what they knew or could experience.
I find it very likely that humans continue to reshape the current model of the universe.
First some Italian wants a bigger universe and lays the seeds of that belief and gets burned to the stake.
Literally holes in a cloth of night is transformed into an earlier physical universe than is currently understood. stars are other suns suddenly.
We still make it more complicated, and for some reason I can't believe it away on my own, too many other perceptions and disbelief conflicting with my ability to reshape everything.
I truly believe that the earliest humans were immortal until they doubted their immortality and aged. I truly believe the earth may have been a million years old but then its age suddenly increased by several billion years because some stupid scientist had to verify and doubted deep down that the earth was that young. He may have proved the earth really was 1 million years old if he'd not doubted it.
This the nature of humans, we are Gods dumbed down and made miserable by our disbelief.
Science is the collective of rules that chain us down. Which would be a good thing if it chained everyone but me.
This is why it is my eternal life's goal to disprove every single scientific fact ever made by not doubting my belief that I, and only I, can manipulate reality to an unlimited degree and that there are no laws of nature but what I say as I do science in order to undo it. I'll disprove the age of the earth, this will be verified by tests, I'll disprove the understanding that my body ages but all others do so that I alone can be immortal.
My eventual goal is to make everyone worship me, of course.

All good and best wishes in achieving your goals, just don't go jumping off any roofs cos you really believe you're an immortal who can fly.

In most situations, the sky was thought to have a persona and the stars merely part of his make up. Therefore, they did not conceive of space as separate from the sky, and they had no such frame of reference to make such calls. Of course, some philosophers speculated that the earth was round even back in antiquity, but it never reshapd the myths.

Amazing post, I expected no loss then from another immortal. No doubt that the first humans were immortal in a sense and one day they decided they were not and died.
Thank you.

The answer is yes, they could, but only because space was very small. It was basically a big ass ****ing canvas with light brites painted on it.
Or maybe I'm confusing it with Tolkien mythology, idk.
