Features: Mythology is the product of humanity's childhood and possesses enduring charm. Greek mythology has been passed down through the ages due to its relatively complete system and unique literary appeal. Greek mythology, along with biblical mythology, has had a comprehensive and profound influence on the religion, philosophy, thought, customs, natural sciences, literature, and arts of the entire Western world and even humanity. When engaging with Western culture, one inevitably encounters allusions derived from Greek mythology, and almost every significant Western classic literary work involves characters and plots from Greek mythology, with some even directly drawing inspiration from it. Today, while we may not need to "always speak of Greece," a systematic understanding of Greek mythology is essential for every modern person.
