Like Greek mythology, like the Zeus series, even more than the Jade Emperor and the God series.
Although I have read "Greek Mythology" twice, I still thought that the former would die when Arroius and Hector fought. There are too many characters in Greek mythology, and there are also many gods. The names of four, five or six characters are not easy to remember. When I read it for the second time, I wanted to make a frame of the fairy to find out who's son and who's descendant. I wrote a few lines, but it’s over. The huge chart is much more complicated than the sequence relationship of the emperor, Zhuanxu, Houyi and other series of characters in Chinese legends. The Greek gods are not ashamed of interbreeding, and there are many freaks such as centaurs and horses. If you think about the virtues of the pig in Chinese mythology, it will be recognized.
The first time I watched "Greek Mythology", I watched it very slowly. Every day I saw the death of the characters in it. At night, I dreamed of corpses and fights. I think it's better to read the book. I've seen the movie and I haven't been able to dream about it.
In the movie "Troy", there are no gods, only heroes. I expected Apollo and Athena to appear, they should have appeared. A movie like this would not be perfect without the gods. It seems as if "Journey to the West" only wrote that Xuanzang, a Tang monk, went to study scriptures alone.
However, according to "Homer's Epic", the story of Troy exists in history, just as the story of Tang monks taking scriptures is true, so what if there are no gods? So can our directors make a "Journey to the West" without mythology? After all, understanding history through myths is not an effective method.
Helen is a beautiful woman, but not in the movie. Although the purpose of such "United Nations" entering the war is different, for glory, dignity and power, the direct reason is only for a woman. There are indeed some wars in history, and some coups are caused by women, or have some factors, but most of them are just the fuse. Otherwise, how can it be used as a talking point for idlers?
Achilles was the personification of justice, and his actions were not influenced by his mother. His mother said that he could live a happy life and have a happy family, but after he died, his sons and grandchildren might remember him, but nothing after that; if he died in battle, his descendants would remember him . The mother in Greek mythology was not as generous as in the movie, sending her son to death, but hid him in another country in disguise as a woman, and mingled with the women. Later, the wise Adysseus put the spear here. In the middle of the group of women, the horn of battle was blown, and the other women were all gone. Only Achilles picked up the spear and was seen through.
It is difficult for Chinese people without distinctive religious beliefs to form their own mythology system, and all kinds of gods, Buddhas, demons and ghosts have their own place. The Jade Emperor is just the shadow of the emperor in the old era, and the Buddha Tathagata is just a foreigner. The living people die and go to hell to become the people of the King of Hell. The only person who traveled around was probably Sun Wukong.
In ancient society, there was no television, internet and media, so they could only tell stories to relieve boredom. The ability to understand nature is limited and can only be made up of myths. So myth and oral history form the material for Homer's epics. In modern society, everyone is not bored anymore, there are too many ways of entertainment, and everyone understands that people are not changed from monkeys, so gods can be kicked aside. Even if you pick it up again, it will become completely unrecognizable, so there will be spoofs like Journey to the West, the brilliant Bajie, and the seven fairies of grassroots enthusiasts.
Immortals can be copied, but can people still be cloned?
