Greek mythology and Roma mythology

Roma mythology is mythology told in ancient Roma. Roma mythology is similar to Greek mythology. Both mythologies are almost same. The name of Gods of Roma mythology is took in modern western language (for example, heavenly bodies, day, and month). What is the reason? Is the reason only that place established both mythologies is immediate? The blog shows outline of Roma mythology and the reason.

Roman went on to tell mythology to their descendant like Indo European. The mythology has existed from prehistoric times. But, Roman changed over their history and ceremony from their mythologies. Roman had had mythology that be similar to Indo European (for example, three functions systems, the mythology of water’s God, and the mythology of dull dawn goddess). Relationship between Greek mythology and Roma mythology is many unknown points, but it is certain that Roma had original mythologies before importing Greek mythology.  

From 6B.C., Roman equated the ancient God of Roma mythology with the Gods of Greek mythology affected Greece. In other words, it is translated from Greek. So, Roma mythology became to be similar to Greek mythology. Because Greece is geographic near to Roma, Roma traded with Greece.

Next thing is one of the theories. Grandfather’s nation of Roma is Troy. Troy is the country lost in Troy wars in Greek mythology. The survivor of Troy ran away Roma. So, Roma has original mythology in Roma and part of Greek mythology. The later, both mythologies became to be similar. The traditional culture of Greece is the best culture in Europe.

Greek mythologies was peak in 2000B.C.. The Gods worshiped through many civilization was gathered by Homeros and Hesiodos. Greek mythology became one of literature. Greek mythology was told to Greece, Roma in polis’s era. And, the mythology was  beckoned Renaissance.

Greek mythology and Japanese mythology

There are myths in the world, regularly. And, the contents are various and much. Greek mythology and mythology in Christianity were one of the most famous mythologies in the mythology, but there are many mythologies in Chinese continent, southeast Asia, Indonesia, and America. Japan has many mythologies, naturally. But when we examine their mythologies, we can finds many strange things. It is similarity points in the episodes. My blog shows similarity points between Greek mythology and Japanese mythologies.

Although many evidences existed, many mythologies were established in same roots.

The first, the story Izanami and Orupeusu. Izanami is God (man) in Japanese mythology. Orupeusu is God (man) in Greek mythology. They are lost their wives. Because they hoped reviving their wife, they went to the other world (hell). The guard in the other world gave them condition reviving their wife. This condition is to not see thire wife. But they broke this condition. They fail reviving their wife.

The second, other world's food. The story adds. When their wife was in other world, wife ate other world's food. Therefore, wife became other world's inhabitant. But guard reluctantly permited reviving their wife. The later, their wife became the other world's queen.

These things are masterpieces. There are many similarity points except the two things. Although Japan is far away from Greece, why is two mythologies similar? The key of the problem is existing Scythian who flourish in ancient central Asia. Scythian is Iranian nomad and Indo European family. So, Scythian told Altai family many mythologies through extent in Eurasian continent (from west to east). The finally, mythology in Skythai is told Japan and Korea by Scythian. As evidence, mythology in Indo European family exists three Gods having three functions ( sovereigh, soldier, and productor). In Japan, three functions also exist for three God's material (mirror, sword, and bead). Each similarity points in mythologies are not general, but partial. Absolute God in Many mythologies except Japanese is man, but absolute Gods in Japanese is woman (Amaterasuokami). These difference points is appeared by different in culture and history.

 

When Greek mythology began

 Greece and Athens are called the town of culture and the town of trade. Also, they are called the town of religion. Greece is the gateway to orient of traditional religion and Christianity. The trace of culture existing there is only pieces of excavation. There is the era exciting equally the heavens and the earth, both of them. It is ancient Greek era. Greek mythology is the stories formed in the era. Greek mythology is made up of the story showed the great power of many Gods. The others are the origins of world, and the story of heroes. So, Greek mythology is formed three storied.

 Show the Greek mythology easily. The first, chaos is born in the space. The second, Gods is born, ”Gaia (earth)”, “Tartaros (bottomless)”, “Eros (love)”. The next, the story of nature world from “Gaia” become. The characteristic of Olympos’ Gods is that Gods is people has immortal and powerful ability. So, Greece thought giving us ability is Gods. Therefore, God is terribly human nature and has feelings not only ability. The purpose of living is drawing up with Gods. Olympos’ 12 Gods is personality. They are strong self-assertion. There are many Gods about nature in Olympos’ 12 Gods.

 Typical, the Greek mythology points the story of Olympos’ Gods. The Ancient Greece people is made painting and sculpture, poem, literature on the Greek mythology. In present, Greek mythology become the material of games and comics.

The Greek mythology is formed a long time ago (thousands year ago) Bible was formed. It was brought down as teachings. It was told by not writing but only mouth. The Greek mythology is formed by not one person but many people. In ancient Greece, Greece is formed by many states (for example, Sparta, Athens). It is called “Greece World (Society)”. Each of the states in Greece World had myths and legends. The later, their myths and legends mixed, the new myths and legends were established. Also, stories and poems were established on the myths. Finally, Greek mythology is established on them. So, Greek mythology is the myth refined by many people.

 Greek mythology is established in Homeros era (B.C.750). Homeros wrote “Ilias”, “Odysseia”. They are epic poetry. They helped people understanding Greek mythology and the stories of Gods. In other words, giving Greece Gods is Homeros. So, it is Bible. After 50 years ago from Homeros era, Hesiodos is the poem writing “The Theogony” showed the origin of Gods. But the origin wrote by Hesiods is different in Homeros’s.

 Greek mythology changed forms by contacting other cultures. The deep relationship to Greek mythology is Roma mythology. So, Greek mythology is established from Roma mythology. Also, Greek mythology is similar to Japan mythology for example, Japan’s oldest historical record “Kojiki”, the oldest chronicles of Japan “Nihonsyoki”. The point in common of both is exsiting many Gods, apearing monster threatened to people, appearing the hero disposed of the monsters. Their mythology is established from the same roots, because the myths of western and eastern are similar. This same roots is began in the Middle and Near East 15000 years ago.
