Greek culture originated from the ancient Aegean civilization, which is slightly similar to the Shang and Zhou civilizations in China. They are the ancestors of western civilization, with excellent nature and extraordinary imagination. In that primitive era, they felt mysterious and difficult to understand natural phenomena and human life and death, so they constantly fantasized and meditated. In their imagination, everything in the universe has life. However, after the Dorians invaded the Aegean civilization, they had to explore the living space outside because of the overpopulation of the Greek peninsula where they lived. At this time, they worshipped heroes and produced many national hero stories intertwined with people and gods. The stories of people, gods and things created by these people have been collectively called "Greek mythology" by historians after being tempered by time, and the 12 century BC to the 7 th and 8 th centuries BC was called "myth era". Fairy tales were originally passed down from mouth to mouth, and it was not until the seventh century BC that the great poet Homer recorded them in the form of epic poems. Greek mythology includes stories of gods and legends of heroes. The story of God involves the origin of the universe and mankind, the appearance of God and its pedigree.

Most of these legendary heroes are descendants of the man of God, who are demigods and demigods. They have extraordinary physical strength and courage, which embodies the heroic spirit and tenacious will of human beings to conquer nature and becomes the embodiment of the collective strength and wisdom of ancient people. The most famous legends are Heracles's Twelve Achievements and Jason's golden fleece. In Greek mythology, God and man are similar. Some people are physically beautiful, others are secular, know the joys and sorrows, and participate in people's activities. The only difference between God and man is that the former lives forever and has no period of death; The latter's life is limited, birth and death. The gods in Greek mythology have distinct personalities, no asceticism and little mysticism. In this mythical reverie, the ancient Greeks placed their wisdom, ideals, emotions and wishes.
