Introduction to Affect and Effect

In Greek mythology, the gods' actions often influence the mortal world in profound ways. The gods' moods, or their ability to influence events, are described as their 'affect'. The consequences of their actions, the changes that occur in the mortal realm, are referred to as the 'effect'. Understanding the distinction between these two words is essential for clear communication, especially when describing the impact of divine intervention in myths.
