Greek mythology originates from the ancient Aegean civilization, which bears some resemblance to the Shang and Zhou civilizations of China. They are the ancestors of Western civilization, possessing outstanding 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 pondered. In their imagination, all things in the universe possess life. However, after the Dorians invaded the Aegean civilization, due to the overpopulation of the Greek Peninsula they lived in, they had to expand their living space. At this time, they worshipped heroes and heroines, resulting in many national hero stories intertwined with humans and gods. The stories of people, gods, and objects created by these people, through the chain of time, are collectively referred to as "Greek mythology" by historians, and between the 11th and 12th centuries BC to the 7th and 8th centuries BC, they are referred to as the "mythological era". Mythological stories were initially passed down by word of mouth, and it was not until the seventh century BC that the great poet Homer compiled and recorded them in the Epic.
