Extended data source

Greek mythology 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 because of the overpopulation of the Greek peninsula. 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 through the tempering of 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.
