Expanded Information

Greek mythology stems from the ancient Aegean civilization, which bears a slight resemblance to the Chinese Shang and Zhou civilizations. They were the originators of the Western civilization, with a remarkable nature and extraordinary imagination.

In those primitive times, they were mystified and puzzled by natural phenomena and the life and death of human beings, so they kept fantasizing and meditating. In their imagination, everything in the universe possessed life. However, after the Dorians invaded the Aegean civilization, they were forced to look for living space because of the overpopulation of the Greek peninsula where they lived.

This was a time when they worshipped heroes and heroines, resulting in many stories of national heroes who were intertwined with gods and men. These stories of people, gods, and things created by the people were collectively called "Greek mythology" by historians through the hardening of time, and the period between the 11th and 12th centuries B.C. and the 7th and 8th centuries A.D. was called the "Age of Myths".

Myths were first passed down by word of mouth until the seventh century B.C., when they were recorded by the great poet Homer in the Epic Poetry.
