LiYulian(2001) researched and found that the highest difference is due to the different natural environment of ancient China and ancient Greece. Ancient China and ancient Greece are both famous ancient countries in the human history. In Chinese mythology, goddesses are existing independently. On the contrary, the Greek goddesses belong to a whole system.
ShiXiaojing and YuYin(2006) compared the status of goddesses of two countries. It can easily find that Greek goddesses have higher status than Chinese goddesses. It is caused by the different culture of two countries. It shows the differences of the number and rights of goddesses.
WuHuaqun and ZhangXihu(2006) considered Chinese mythology and Greek mythology both appeared at the earlier time of human. However, there many differences of them because of the different geographical environment and historical changed process. The Greeks created the image of goddess according to people’s image. Greek goddesses are more beautiful and intelligent than human, at the same time, they also have the emotion, personality and image of human. 文献综述
