mythology\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The simplest way to approach a myth is to look at its subject.\u003cbr\u003e In the broadest sense, myths are traditional stories about gods, kings, heroes, etc.\u003cbr\u003e Myths are often associated with the creation of the world, and sometimes with its future destruction.\u003cbr\u003e Myths tell us how the gods created humans, describe the relationships between various gods and humans, and provide moral codes by which humans should live.\u003cbr\u003e And it deals with the life of a hero who represents the ideals of society.\u003cbr\u003e In short, myths primarily deal with important aspects of human and superhuman beings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eGreek and Roman mythology constitutes the richest and most fertile collection of stories in Western culture, aside from the Bible, and its basic threads are deeply rooted in the character of the Greeks.\u003cbr\u003e The Greeks believed that since death was inevitable, life should be cherished and lived fiercely.\u003cbr\u003e For Homer, for example, death was a gloomy state, but life itself was dangerous, tense, and glorious.\u003cbr\u003e The idea that death was inevitable, whether for ordinary people or for great heroes, did not grieve the Greeks any more than it did the Mesopotamian scribes who recorded the Epic of Gilgamesh.\u003cbr\u003e Rather, the Greeks responded enthusiastically.\u003cbr\u003e They believed that the only answer to death was to carve an immortal legend through grand deeds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThus the Greeks pursued fame with astonishing energy for five centuries, from Homer to Alexander the Great.\u003cbr\u003e They were a tough, restless, ambitious, hard-working and imaginative race.\u003cbr\u003e Moreover, the Greeks' extraordinary desire for honor led them to seek a reputation that transcended death, for they were also ardent and vengeful.\u003cbr\u003e The story of the Greeks richly displays all these characteristics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The gods of Olympus faithfully reflected these characteristics of the Greeks; they were quarrelsome and unforgiving gods who enjoyed war, feasting, and fornication.\u003cbr\u003e They were always depicted in human form, revealing beautiful and powerful bodies.\u003cbr\u003e Therefore, they were not only humanly understandable, but also very pleasing to the eye. \u003cbr\u003eThe Greeks greatly admired strength, beauty, and intelligence.\u003cbr\u003e Moreover, for them, the measure of all things was none other than man, and for this reason Greek mythology has a strong humanistic color.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Few mythologies have produced as many heroes as Greek mythology.\u003cbr\u003e This was a very natural outcome, given the Greeks' tendency to pursue immortal fame.\u003cbr\u003e Heroes tend to be adventurers and warriors.\u003cbr\u003e Bold, experienced, fierce, strong, and often clever.\u003cbr\u003e Their achievements far surpass those of ordinary mankind.\u003cbr\u003e But they also have serious flaws that sometimes ruin them.\u003cbr\u003e For example, flaws such as excessive pride, impatience, and cruelty arise from great ambition.\u003cbr\u003e Greek heroes had strong ambitions, sometimes yearning for god-like power. \u003cbr\u003eAs excellent models of humanity, they provided a standard for Greek youth to emulate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The legend of the tragic dynasty illustrates this duality.\u003cbr\u003e For example, the royalty of Crete, Mycenae, Thebes, and Athens suffered from their own particular flaws: arrogance in power, ruthlessness in revenge, stubbornness in pursuing certain goals, and sexual conflicts.\u003cbr\u003e No race understood more clearly than the Greeks how character determines destiny, or how our achievements can stem from sources as sinful as our own.\u003cbr\u003e Ultimately, the ancient Greeks achieved the lasting fame they so passionately pursued.\u003cbr\u003e And their myths have shaped the mainstream of Western art and literature for well over two thousand years.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis book uses the works of Ovid (43 BC - 17 AD, ancient Roman poet) and Virgil (70 BC - 19 BC, ancient Roman poet) as text, but uses the names of Greek gods, which are more familiar and widely used, rather than the unfamiliar names of Roman gods.\u003cbr\u003e The stories of the Greek and Roman gods are presented in a more systematic and clear manner through a basic chronological arrangement of the mythological stories and a thematic overview, and care has been taken to select each of the approximately 200 visual and tactile artworks.\u003cbr\u003e Therefore, I hope that readers will enjoy the dynamic nature of the mythical story and the vividness of the magnificent paintings while reading this book.
