Greek Mythology and Superheroes Thousands of years ago what is now considered mythology and folklore was a true religion among the indigenous cultures of those beliefs. Among these, Greek mythology is the best known and most cited. The Greek gods were not visions of perfection. They had personal problems, arguments, wars and a great multitude of affairs. The Greek gods were essentially characters in the works of many great writers and it is arguable that belief in these gods was secondary to the writing of stories. American superhero comics were born concretely with the advent of Superman from Detective Comics. Before that there were plenty of heroes in comics based on the Greek adventures of demigods and divine heroes. As comics have evolved, it has become clear that many of the superheroes read every day by adoring fans are based on Greek myths. These adoring fans can become writers of this superhero mythology just as the great ancient writers became writers of stories of the gods. Superhero comics have their roots in Greek mythology in the nature of their stories and are about betrayal, the problems of superior beings who are responsible for the well-being of the population, semi-powerful beings, and business. Many years before what is currently known mythology and old stories were the true religion around indigenous societies of those beliefs. Among these, Greek mythology is the best known and most cited. The Greek gods were not dreams of flawlessness. They had specific problems, disputes, wars and an incredible number of undertakings. The Greek divine beings were basically characters in the works of numerous extraordinary scholars and it may be… middle of paper… that the beliefs welcomed Greek mythology into their slant. American superheroes, rather than Greek legendary legends, are more reflective of the mores of our general public. One might say that their role, all things considered, is itself the type of contemplation that cultivated and was created by the exploratory and social achievements of the Enlightenment. Meanwhile, Greek mythology and its figures served rather to characterize Greek society and public opinion and to help it on a different path. This is evident in the decline in stories about basic, elemental-based divine beings. As people became more cultured and still wanted to have stories of extraordinary creatures that are essentially divine beings around us. This is a predictable topic in our written work, however it ended up at the same time as the comics, where we are composing our own mythology.
