Commercial Attribution of Greek Society:Viewed from Greek Mythology

古代希腊是农业社会还是商业社会?试图从神话研究的视角,对这一问题作出回答。认为:从希腊神话的各主题,即神系更替、诸神诞生、诸神职司及命运、英雄传说及人类诞生中,可以清晰地捕捉到希腊商业社会由形成到确立的过程。

Ancient Greece belonged to agricultural or Commercial societies? This essay attempts to answer the question from the angle of mythology study. And the conclusion is: from all subjects of Greek mythology, this is to say, the replacement of deity genealogy, the birth of gods, the terms of reference and fate of gods, and the heroic legend and the creation of mankind, the formation and establishment of Greek commercial society can be clearly perceived.
