Abstract

Greek mythology is the soil for European societies, and the Chinese translation of ancient Greek mythology began in 1907 by the Commercial Press. As the cornerstone of Western civilization, Greek mythology is famous and influential for its self-formed system, complete preservation and wide dissemination. Chinese mythology, on the other hand, also has a long history and far-reaching influence. This paper compares Chinese mythology with Greek mythology through three aspects, and tries to uncover the social background of the differences, so as to improve mutual understanding of the two countries with their cultures.
