Greek mythology is primitiveGentile societyIt is the earliest literary form in Europe.It came into being in the 8th century BC. It formed a basic scale on the basis of the long-term oral transmission of the ancient Greek aborigines and the use of myths spread to Greece and other countries. LaterHomerOf《Homer Epic》AndHesiodOf《Divine Scripture》And ancient Greek poetry, drama, history, philosophy, etcMyth Story, which is divided into two parts: the story of God and the legend of heroes.
Mythological narration plays an important role in almost every Greek literature.Nevertheless, Pseudo Apollodorus《Library》(Bibliotheca)It is the only collection of Greek myths preserved from the ancient Greek period.This work contains a large number of original materials about Greek mythology (such as the genealogy of the gods), mainly hero mythology, which is an important document for modern scholars to study ancient Greek mythology.In ancient times, this work was believed to have lived in Athens between 180 and 120 BCApollodorosHowever, it has been proved that this is a pseudonymous work or a character of the same name. In fact, it was written in the 2nd century AD. Therefore, it is customary to call the author of this book "Pseudo Apollodoros".
The earliest references are Homer's two epics:《Iliad》And《Odyssey》。In addition, the epics in this area are all attributed to Epic Cycle, but these works have been lost, and now there are only sporadic fragments and paraphrases.There is a group of epic poems that praise the gods or sing about the deeds of gods. They are called "Homeric Hymns", but they have nothing to do with HomerlyricA hymn handed down from the early period.[2]Hesiod, a poet of Homer's basic contemporaneous period, comprehensively recorded the formation of the world, the gods,TitanAnd the origin of the giant in early Greek mythology as well as detailed genealogies, folk legends, and myths of human disease history.Hesiodian《Works and Days 》It systematically recorded the knowledge of agricultural production at that time, showing a peaceful and beautiful rural life scene.It includes descriptions of Prometheus, Pandora and five eras.These poems give advice and panorama of the best way of life in that dangerous period.[1]
Lyric poems often use myths as the background, but their descriptions often deviate from the facts and add more authors' fantasies.The more famous lyric poets in ancient Greece includePindar ,Becryades,SimonidesAnd pastoral poetsTheocritosTheir works contain a lot of mythical elements.[3]In addition, mythology is also the central theme of classical Athenian drama.Three TragediesAeschylus,SophoclesandEuripidesMost tragedies ofmythological ageOf heroes andTroy WarFor the background.Many famous tragic stories (such as Agamemnon and his children, Oedipus, Jason and Medea) have been used as the theme of classical tragedy.ComedianAristophaneHe also took mythology as the theme of his works "Birds" and "Frogs".[2]
historianHerodotusandTheodorusAnd geographersPausaniasandStraboAll of them have traveled across Greece. They have recorded the stories they heard along the way. Their records have proved that there are a large number of unknown versions of myths and legends in different regions.[3]Herodotus, in particular, studied a large number of traditions and discovered many historical or mythological roots of Greece and the East.He also tried to reconcile these origins to blend different cultural concepts.
Greek civilization and ancient Roman poetry are more literary and artistic.Nevertheless, it still contains many important details lost in other works.These works mainly include:
Roman writers, such as Aenus, regarded fabrication and astronomy as the two most important outlines of mythology.oldPhilostratosAnd the imagination of little Philostratos and the description of Callistratos are the other two sources of myth.

Finally, Anobius and someByzantiumGreek writers perfected the details of mythology based on early Greek works that are now untested.The preserved books of these myths include the Suda dictionary of Hesikios and the monographs of John Tayzer and Eustacius.ChristianityQuote Greek mythology for enlightenment: ἐ νπα ντ ὶ μ ῳ κα ὶ τ ὸ Δα δδ≤ λ ο νμ ὸ/en panti muth ō i kai to Daidalou musos ("Every myth hasDaedalus").Sudais, who is knowledgeable, believes that the image of Daedalus is consistent with Pacifi'sPoseidonThe "evil interest" of the transformed bull: "Since the origin and fault of these demons are attributed to Daedalus, and he is hated by them, he has become the protagonist of the proverbs."
Most ancient Greek myths or legends originate from ancient Greek literature, including, for example, Iliad and Odyssey in Homer's Epic, and Hesiod's Work and Time and Divine Manual,archaic period The pseudonymous Homer Ode and other classic works, as well as AeschylusSophoclesAnd Euripides.
Greek mythology originates from ancientAegean civilization, and ChinaShang and Zhou DynastiesThere are some similarities between civilizations.They are the ancestors of Western civilization, with outstanding nature and extraordinary imagination.In that primitive era, they felt mysterious and difficult about natural phenomena and human life and death, so they kept fantasizing and pondering.In their imagination, everything in the universe has life. However, after the invasion of the Aegean civilization by the Dorians, they had to expand their living space due to the overpopulation of the Greek Peninsula.At this time, they worshipped heroes, which produced many national hero stories intertwined with people and gods.These stories of people, gods and things created by people, through the tempering of time, are collectively called "Greek mythology" by historians, and between the 11th and 12th century BC to the 7th and 8th century BC are called“mythological age”。At first, fairy tales were handed down by word of mouth. It was not until the seventh century BC that Homer, the great poet, recorded them in Epic.
Archaeological certificate
19th Century German Legendary ArchaeologistHeinrich Schliemann DiscoveredMycenaean civilizationAnd 20th century British archaeologistsArthur Evans Discovered by SirCreteOfMinoan civilizationThey all provide explanations for a large number of questions raised about Homer's epic poems, and also provide archaeological evidence for many details about the myths of gods and heroes.Unfortunately, Mycenae and Minos' immortal evidence of myths and ritualsLinear B The scroll of is mainly used to record the inventory, although there are many names of gods and heroes in it.
In the geometric design of pottery in the 8th century BC, many people besieged the city with Troy orHeraclesThe theme is adventure.The importance of the visual expression of these myths is shown in two aspects: first, many Greek myths appeared on today's pottery far earlier than written records, such as the twelve achievements of Heracles. Only the capture of Cerberus has written records of the same era as pottery, and other written records are later thanPotteryPainting;Secondly, pottery design sometimes even depicts some myths or scenes that do not have written records.Sometimes the first-hand record of a fairy story comes from geometric art, but when it appears in today's written records, it is often several centuries later.
During the Ancient Wind Period (about 750 to 500 BC), the Classical Greek Period (about 480 to 323 BC) and the Hellenistic Period (about 323 to 146 BC), Homer style and many other mythological scenes emerged in large numbers, which were confirmed by written records. The Apollo Sun Temple was discovered by archaeology in 2002.
The difference between God and man
In Greek mythology, the gods and people are alike. They have not only the beauty of human body, but also the seven emotions and six desires of people. They know how to be happy, angry, sad, and participate in human activities.The difference between God and man is only that the former lives forever without death;The latter has a limited life, with birth, aging, illness and death.The gods in Greek mythology have distinct personality, without asceticism and rarely with mysticism.The beauty of Greek mythology is that God still has a destiny, still trapped by love, and will do bad things for his own interests.Therefore, Greek mythology is not only the soil of Greek literature, but also has a profound impact on later European literature.
