Abstract

The Greek mythology is the creation of ancient Greek people and is originated from the old Aegean culture. It is a representative of the brilliant civilization of ancient people in Europe. Through history, the Greek mythology has greatly influenced the development of the European culture. As an important part of European culture, the English culture has also been greatly influenced by the Greek mythology. This paper mainly discusses the influence of Greek mythology upon English culture, including the analysis of its influence upon English language and English literature. From the analysis, we can see that the impacts of Greek mythology cannot be ignored in the study of English culture. That is to say, the explanation and understanding of Greek mythology can help us to better understand the English language and English literature.
