The Major Mythical Characters

 

The history of ancient myths, especially Greek and Roman myths play an important role in the field of English literature. Without a clear conception of them, any study of English literature is not possible. For this, here we try to learn about the major mythical characters, animals, and objects of Ancient Greece, Rome, and Egypt.  The main theme of all Greek tragedies is man's struggle against fate, though each poet’s conception of the tragedy is different.

The ancient people of every civilization had no clear idea of God and His mysterious powers. The Greeks had some limitations. They were quite dark about others.  They believed in the supernatural powers and their secrets in their ways. But they had one great asset, a beautiful language for the immortal expression of lovely thoughts. The main theme of all Greek tragedies is man's struggle against fate, though each poet’s conception of the tragedy is different. The poets of that time in Greece imagined that there were supernatural beings who controlled the universe. They called them gods and goddesses. They interpreted the mysteries of these unseen powers with their experience of the visible world. These people made their deities in their images. They imagined them as males and females and made Olympus their abode. Thus, Olympus was made into a humanized world. They imagined them as beautiful, friendly, amusing; but fearful and dangerous when they got angry. The gods were immortal, and so, more powerful than human beings. They shared human feelings and sometimes became childish and indecent, losing their sanity. However, they believed that gods and goddesses were sensible despite their occasional nonsensical activities. The Greek and Roman writers used this general concept of the time about supernatural powers in their writings. Thus, they gave better shapes to the myths.
