What are the interesting stories in Greek mythology?

Although Greek gods and goddesses are immortal, their behavior is almost the same as that of human beings. They quarrel with each other, have children with their spouses, and often have offspring with ordinary people. They are sometimes threatened by their own children and even overthrown.
