Greece Myth, with distinctive characters and complicated story, is the source of western civilazation. Since it is a great source of making film, there are lots of film with Greece Myth theme. With the development of computer technology, lots of mysterious animal and things can be shown in front of people's eyes.
Different with Chinese Myth, there is hero besides God and human beings in Greece Myth who is the descendant of God and human being together. And the story is mainly narrating them. God in Greece Myth has the similar character with human being. They can be angry and jealous and show their emotion easily. The story about hero cannot seperate with God and human beings.
God has a lot of appearance in Greece Myth. Generally they have human being appearance with gorgeous beauty. As they also have emotion as human being, they can be easliy get involve of the fight with human being. In Olympic, they fight for right. There is no perfect God in Greece Myth which show live reality and its attraction. All the fight and adventure story comes from complicated relationship like soap opera.
Bastard- Zeus's son cannot be offended
There are lots of bastards in Greece Myth. For example, Zues is the greatest God who is called the Hammer of God for controlling lightening. He becomes the third generation God by killing his father Cronus assisting by his mother Rhea. He has lots of bastards as he has affairs with many goddess and human beings behind his wife.
In the legend, Acrisius, king of Argost is predicted to be killed by his grandson. He is afraid about that and builds a copper tower to lock his unmarried daugther Danae. Out of his expectation, Zeus has caught an eye on Danae and has relationship with her. After that, Danae gives birth to Perseus. Acrisius drops Perseus into the ocean to kill him but in vain. Perseus comes back to revenge after grown up and becomes a hero with help by Zeus.
Distrust between husband and wife
Different from Chinese Myth, God in Greece Myth would like to revenge even with great power. Zeus and Hera would be the outstanding couple for this event. Hera, who is Zeus' sister, is Zeus' seventh wife. She controls marriage and childbirth and protects women. She is also elegant and faithful to Zeus. However, she is very jealous. She always fights with Zeus for his dis-loyal but easy to make up by Zeus' sweet words.
In Clash of the Titans, Hera does not appears to be crazy revenging wife as Thetis, Goddess of Sea, sets lots of traps on Perseus' growing for revenging Zeus not forgiving sins of she and Zeus's son Kalibosi. That's why Hera steps back to let all the things go as it does.
Brothers' fight- rigth and wonmen
Brothers' fight would be a typical element of soap opera. In Greece Myth, replacement of God is not hereditary but fight to die before getting crown. The first king Uranus eats all his children as being afraid to be replaced by his children. Zeus has been saved by his mother for turning him into a stone. Finally, Zeus become the third king of God by overthrowing his father. After that, Zeus happens to fight with his brother Hades for getting Persephone. At last, Hades get Persephone.
Clash of the Titans also narrates fight between Zeus and Hades. And the final result will be determined by son the of Zeus, Perseus.
