Plain and simple, it means not having to die. The fear and the enigma of death is one of the most ancient and persisting human obsessions, that has been the subject of countless mythological stories and written pieces of literature.

In classic Greek and Roman literature, gods were immortal by definition. But there is also an interesting story about Cumaean Sybil, a priestess who was pursued by Apollo. When he promised to grant her one wish if she would yield to him, she asked to live eternally. But then she changed her mind and refused Apollo, who left her to decay alive, as she didn't ask for eternal youth.

In contemporary literature, there are numerous examples of fascination with the so-called "undead" - vampires, aliens, and other uncanny creatures.

You should read Greek mythology. 

The last word would not be capitalized because mythology is not a proper noun. It also does not go hand-in-hand with Greek as some sort of compound noun. Greek is simply describing the type of mythology you should read.

It should also end in a period because you are being told to read something. They are not asking you a question, they are suggesting something to you. It is also not necessarily an exciting statement, meaning there would be no random exclamation mark at the end. <span />
