Greek Mythology vs. Roman Mythology

Greek and Roman mythology has existed for longer than we can imagine and are so
diverse. These mythologies are another way of looking at our world. There is a lot in
common between the two mythologies, Even though they are from different time
periods.

They both originated over 500 years ago and still Greek and Roman mythology are very
different from each other. Greek mythology came close to 1000 years before Roman
Mythology even existed and “the origins of Greek mythology are still unknown. “(What’s
the diffen)Roman mythology on the other hand was created by the people of Rome as a
religion and it was even adopted from Greek mythology.

Greek and Roman mythology are similar because they are both great pieces of work.
Greek mythology speaks of great tales of the unexplainable and Roman mythology
consists of many battles and stories between immortals. Therefore, this clearly
illustrates that Greek and Roman mythologies close in storytelling because of their rich
tales of immortals.

Even though Roman and Greek mythology are descriptive and elaborate both forms of
mythologies have a major difference. Greek mythology tells great stories of mortals who
participated in dangerous adventures and heroic deeds, such as the stories of Perseus
and Hercules. Whereas Roman mythology completely disregarded the idea of mortality
and said that only life after death is important. In conclusion Roman Mythology
disregards mortal deeds while Greek Mythology praises those deeds.

An interesting difference between the two mythologies is the fact that Roman Gods did
not have an actual personality. Instead the looks of the god had to be inferred by the
reader or listener. In Greek mythology however “the appearance of a god was a major
deal.”(What’s the Diffen)Therefore the gods in Greek mythology are portrayed as
elegant and gorgeous beings.

Greek Mythology and Roman mythology have their differences such as names, beliefs
about certain events, and importance of certain beings. They are still almost the same
Mythology. Roman Mythology was created almost 1000 years later but it adopted the
ideas of Greek mythology and “paraphrased” those ideas as their own.
Greek and Roman mythology have their differences and similarities. They are both a
different and interesting perspective on the world that should be considered.In
conclusion as similar as Roman and Greek mythology are they have many differnet
ways of telling stories.
Greek Mythology vs. Norse Mythology

AA big difference between Greek and Norse mythology is that the gods in Norse
mythology are a lot closer to mankind. They get hungry, they get hurt, they die; whereas
Greek gods have very little physical connections to mankind. Norse gods also interact
with humans a lot more than Greek gods. Zeus would pretty much only head down the
mountain to sleep with human women. While In order to get around the nine worlds of
the Norse, the gods had to interact with humans and even rely on them (thor leaving his
chariot at a farm).

Zeus and Odin are a great comparison for some of the differences between Greek and
Norse mythology. Both are leading “all father” gods.  Zeus is a lot moodier and definitely
more promiscuous. Zeus also likes to “puff out his chest” and assert his power a lot
more than Odin. Odin is also arrogant in his own ways. For example when Odin is
disguised as Harbard, a ferryman, (in The Lay of Harbard), he goes back and forth with
his son Thor about his many accomplishments and why ‘Harbard’ is so much better
than the hero Thor.

The timeline for Norse mythology ends While Greek Mythology doesn’t have a definite
end. All throughout the Norse readings there were many references to Ragnarok– the
final battle. And there isn’t much talk about what happened after Ragnarok since its
seen as a sort of end. There is a grand battle in Greek mythology where Zeus and his
brothers succeed in overthrowing his father but its shown as a beginning rather than an
end. Zeus’ battle is towards the beginning of the Greek mythological world and is an
extremely important part. Because without that battle, Zeus and his siblings wouldn’t
have any power.

Both Greek and Norse mythology describe how the world came to be. The Norse
creation story was a lot more gruesome since its described as the earth being made
from a fallen giant. Every part of him was transformed to be a part of the earth and even
the sky. His death caused a great flood of his blood where only two humans survive and
the oceans were created. (The Creation). The concept of a great flood has been
explored by many many religions including the Greeks. But with the greeks, the great
flood was a punishment to Prometheus and his creations– man and woman.

Norse Mythology vs Roman Mythology

Similarities:
Both mythologies were created
to explain the creation of the world,
and how it works
- Both featured several gods that were
in control of certain things
- Both creation stories talk about life
emerging from nothing.
-Both have an Underworld, to explain what happens to people when they die
Differences
While Norse Mythology focused on the
gods, heroes, and the nine realms, Roman
mythology was more focused on the actual
city of Rome, rather than the gods, heroes,
and monsters they borrowed from the Greeks
- In Roman Mythology, you got into the Afterlife depending on how good of a person you
were in your previous life. In Norse Mythology, you got into the Afterlife based on how
you died.

Egyptian Mythology vs. Greek Mythology

Similarities
Both were polyestetic religions (multiple gods)
Both had gods representing an element (e.g. Zeus-thunder)
Egyptian and Greek gods had similar gods (e.g. Zeus-Ra)

Differences

Greek mythology was believed in Ancient Greece 4000 years ago, and was practiced because this gave
them some control over their lives (due to the fact that the belief of gods gave them hope). Egyptian
mythical legends took place before the actual Egyptians existed, whereas the people of Greece believed
that the gods triggered certain events such as the Trojan War or thunder. 

Egyptian mythology was believed in ancient Egypt. The religion had its roots back in Egypt's beginning,
and stretched for more than 5100 years (being older than the Greek religion). This religion was
practiced, and the roots of the Egyptian gods passed down to the Pharaoh, or the ruler of ancient Egypt.
They buried the body of the Pharaoh in a cast, which is known as mummies. Their bodies are stored in
tombs, where the Egyptians believed that they could pass down to the afterlife.
