Growing Up With Greek Literature

If you grew up saying "a tragedy of Greece" to a student majoring in English in Greek literature, you might cause embarrassment or even terrible screams. But for me, the Greek tragedy and the Greek mythion have always fascinated me. Greek gods always attracted my interest when I was young. As I grew older, I became more interested in the more sophisticated aspects of Greek literature. In particular, Sophocles and the three Theban dramas gave me a big impression.

Ancient Greek literature means literature written in Greek until the 4th century. Western European Greek literature had spread from the 4th century AD to the emergence of Alexander the Great. Ancient Greek literature, along with the Hebrew Bible, provides the foundation for all Western literature. Most epics and tragedies come from ancient Greek religions and Greek myths. Greek myths have had widespread influence on the culture, art and literature of Western civilization. Although the ancient Greek religion based on these stories has declined for a long time, the Greek myths are still active and energetic, mainly through the epics and tragedies of ancient Greek literature, Western novels, poetry, movies and visual art It is abundant resources of.

Like Greek religion, Greek literature is closely related to mythology, but these two things are different. All major types of Greek literature use myths to a certain extent, and most types of poetry, especially myths, are the main sources of the subject. However, literary works are different from myths: it is an instantiation of myths that exist in many other forms. For example, Hesiod speaks the story of how Zeus became king of God. But this poem itself is not a myth and it is not a clear expression of this myth. On the contrary, it is one of many examples of myths, and many other forms are adopted. Of course, these formats are not mere literature. Myths are expressed in graphic illustrations such as vase paintings and sculptures, or in actual buildings or spaces such as temples or sacred places, or in actual ceremonies where worship is carried out in cult practices It is represented by a memorial.

In Greek mythology and literature, God always exists in some form. In ancient Greek literature, it is recorded that God often interacts with humans. Apart from changing fellowship with God, we can not change our lives. What is the cause of this incident? God Olympus constantly intervenes in humans, but what is the reason? The gods show their ability to human beings through physical and psychological divine interaction. - Greek myths have existed for centuries and it has influenced most of our culture in that terrible story and allegory. By the ancient Greek "Odyssey" teaching ethics, or by the "interpretation" of the myth that "Hreses and Persephon" creates "the seasons", a group of stories called "classic myths" is firstly made by ancient Greeks It was written. I have my own plot and story, but everything is combined (Bingham, 6).
