greek mythology
Greek mythology is the earliest oral creation of people in Europe, which came into being between12nd century BC and 8th century BC. It has been handed down from generation to generation by the ancient Greeks for hundreds of years, and it has been continuously processed and preserved in various literary, historical and philosophical works.
Greek mythology includes stories of gods and legends of heroes. The story of God involves the origin of the universe and mankind, the appearance of God and its pedigree. According to legend, there were twelve gods in Olympia in ancient Greece: Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Poseidon, Hadders, Pluto, Athena and Apollo. Hephaestus, the god of fire and craft, Hermes, the herald of the gods, Demeter, the goddess of farming and fertility, and Dionysus, the god of wine (abdicated by the kitchen god). They are in charge of all kinds of phenomena and things in nature and life, and form the Olympian God system with Zeus as the center and the olimp God system with Zeus as the center.
The legend of heroes originated from the worship of ancestors, and was an artistic review of ancient history and the struggle with nature by the ancient Greeks. Most of these legendary heroes are descendants of the man of God, who are demigods and demigods. They have extraordinary physical strength and courage, which embodies the heroic spirit and tenacious will of human beings to conquer nature and becomes the embodiment of the collective strength and wisdom of ancient people. The most famous legends are Heracles's Twelve Achievements and Jason's golden fleece.
In Greek mythology, God and man are similar. Some people are physically beautiful, others are secular, know the joys and sorrows, and participate in people's activities. The only difference between God and man is that the former lives forever and has no period of death; The latter's life is limited, birth and death. The gods in Greek mythology have distinct personalities, no asceticism and little mysticism.

Zeus thrived on the island day by day. One day, while playing with a female goat, he accidentally pushed her down and broke a beautiful horn. Fairy Amar Teia soon healed her wound. Zeus picked up the horn, endowed it with magical power and dedicated it to the kind fairy. The horn of this ram has been called "the horn of abundance" since then, because it can produce all kinds of delicious food.
