不同点：中国古代神话中的诸神在 性格塑造上往往比较单一，而且地 位高的神总是正义的，他们庄严、 伟大、完美、充满创造力而又至高 无上，是“有理智的、谦虚的、和 善的、奖励的把良心、理性和责任 感看成法律”[11]。他们独来独往， 凌驾于万物之上。在希腊神话中， 神高度人格化，希腊的神和英雄是 “神人合一”的，是神人同形同性 的，希腊人以自身为蓝本创造神， 所以人所具有的也是神具有的。希 腊诸神和人类一样有爱，有恨，有 喜怒哀乐，有七情六欲，也有吃穿 住行、恋爱、生育等生活需要，他 们的品行有的正直、勇敢，有的残 忍、好嫉妒、爱慕虚荣。

相同点：在中国神话传说 中，很多神祗的形象被塑 造成“半人半兽”或是 “人面兽身”，这些人兽 同体的神祗占据主流位置， 数量远在人神同形的神祗 之上。在最早时期的希腊 神话中，神在外形上也是 人兽同形同体的。在奥林 匹斯神系之前的提坦巨神 都是如此，大地女神该亚 和天神乌拉诺斯生下的巨 人面目狰狞，身后拖着一 条带鳞的龙尾巴。
Most Chinese parents build a house for their sons. In China, if a boy’s parents can’t build or buy a new house, it will be hard for the boy to find a girl marry him. They don't build house for their daughter. (they think their daughter will get married a boy in the future, then their daughter become other people’s daughter.) Of course, when the parents or grandparents died, their inheritance also often is the son of the house.
They invited their relatives and friends get together to share their happiness
In Greek mythology the relationship between god and goddess is pretty clear . It has explicit system . All the gods and goddess in Chinese were multiplied from generation to generation whereas Chinese myth mentioned very little information about the god couples and there are no clear connections between ordinary gods and major gods.
