First of all, from the position of Greek culture in the long history of Europe, it has an indelible charm. Ancient Greece and Rome were the cradles of European civilization, which had a far-reaching influence on later European literature. It can be said that without the foundation laid by Greek culture and Roman Empire, there would be no modern Europe. Greek philosophy, literature, art and sports have had a far-reaching impact on the world, not only playing a huge role in the Renaissance in Europe, but also in the process of civilization for hundreds of years, drizzle moistens things and continues to this day. Greek mythology is not only the original source of Greek national literature, but also the starting point of the whole western civilization. The construction of western civilization depends on the humanistic ideals and moral concepts in Greek mythology. For thousands of years, the characters and stories in ancient Greek mythology have been deeply rooted in people's hearts, imperceptibly shaping westerners' world outlook and influencing generations of westerners. It is not beautiful, has far-reaching influence, reflects human childhood and has permanent artistic charm. Until today, Greek myths still have enduring vitality, such as "Prometheus stealing fire" and "Pandora's box". These languages with profound cultural connotations have transcended the boundaries of countries and nations and become the lingua franca of the world. Greek mythology is the earliest ideology of ancient Greeks, which reflects people's understanding of the world in primitive society. Among the myths of all nationalities in the world, Greek mythology has developed perfectly and has its own distinctive characteristics. First of all, as Marx said, the ancient Greeks were "normal children" and ancient Greece was "the childhood with the best development of human nature". Greek mythology is less influenced by religion, so it typically shows the naive, lively and romantic characteristics of human childhood, full of positive optimism and firm confidence in overcoming difficulties. Greek mythology shows the tenacious will and beautiful ideal of human beings who are eager to conquer and transform nature in childhood, which is essentially different from medieval Christian mythology based on idealism. Secondly, it has a distinct humanistic color and destiny view. In other words, ancient Greek mythology has the characteristics of similarity between man and god. The gods in ancient Greek mythology all have human characters, images and secular desires, and some people also have joys and sorrows. They are as headstrong and vain as people. They not only have the physiological needs of eating, drinking, wearing and sleeping, but also have the needs of emotional life and even falling in love. For example, from the wanton indulgence of the gods to the fanatical double suicide of fire thieves; From Achilles' anger to Medea's cruel revenge. The gods in ancient Greek mythology are not unattainable idols, but absolute forces that dominate human destiny. On the contrary, some people fight against God and even kill death and flee. These characteristics also fully show the progressiveness and reality of ancient Greek mythology. Thirdly, the vivid and beautiful ancient Greek mythology was invented by people in primitive society from the reality of life through beautiful fantasies. In terms of artistic techniques, ancient Greek literature has both romantic fantasy exaggeration and realistic description, just like colorful genre paintings reflecting the life and struggle of ancient working people. As an original literature, ancient Greek mythology has a gorgeous, simple and pure artistic style in the long history of literature, just like a beautiful scenery. Show colorful artistic charm. For example, the characters created in the works are extremely rich, the hero is brave and good at fighting, and the heroine is beautiful and moving. At the same time, Greek mythology is the collective creation of the people. After a long period of spread and enrichment by the people of past dynasties, the wisdom of the masses was concentrated and then shaped. Therefore, the images in ancient Greek mythology are vivid and vivid, and the artistic conception is magnificent and amazing. Another example is its innovation in narrative mode and expression. For example, in King Oedipus, flashbacks are used, suspense and sharp turns make the plot vivid and the structure ingenious. In terms of ideological content, it was progressive and realistic at first. For example, Homer's epic is a work that reflects reality. The two epics record the confluence of the legend of heroes about the Trojan War, which has been circulating in ancient Greece for a long time. Its progressiveness is reflected in the epic enthusiastically praising human values, fully affirming people's pursuit and love for life, and expressing people's optimistic nature. Another example is Medea, who created the image of "abandoned wife" and discussed women's problems in the play, which truly reflected the psychological process of people struggling between love and hate in real life. Secondly, the works of ancient Greek literature often get a philosophical hint and implication. The most representative is Aesop's fable, which finds unusual philosophy in simple life. Third, the stories of works are often very strong. Although ancient Greek literature is a childhood literature, its works all have a certain scale, form a certain style, are systematic and have a complete story.
