Features: Greek mythology is the most beautiful and greatest mythology among all mythologies in the world, a spiritual product of primitive tribal society, and the crystallization of wisdom of the ancient Greeks who lived in the Aegean Sea region and were called "normal children" by historians. Mythology is a dazzling gem in the treasure trove of literary and artistic works; it reflects the ancient people's wonder and imagination about nature. Greek mythology is even more beautiful and greatest among all mythologies in the world, a spiritual product of primitive tribal society. The heroic deeds of the protagonists in mythological stories—such as the act of creating the world, the romantic pursuit of flying to the moon, and the magical ability to ride clouds and mist—deeply captivate us. Among various reading materials on Greek mythology, Schwab, a famous 19th-century German writer, wrote "Greek Mythology and Legends," which has become the most popular version globally. It has been translated into major languages and is widely sold in countries around the world.
