...Hollywood borrows ideas from Mythology
Zeus defeats his father and takes his crown
I know what you must be thinking, “how is it possible for myths and movies to be similar?” Well Greek myths are like movies in a way. Let's start comparing.
Cronus, in Greek Mythology, defeated his father Uranus and became the lord of the universe, same with star wars except the fact that Darth Vader killed Obi-Wan Ken-obi who was his teacher and looked up to him as a father and didn’t take the role of a teacher. Then there’s Zeus who defeated Cronus also known as worst father in the world for eating his children same for Luke Skywalker defeating his father minus the fact that Darth Vader didn't eat his children.
Now that you got the basic of it all do you remember when Luke Sky walker kissed lea, same with the gods except they bore more gods/goddesses so there population got up not that they needed any more, because they already have like a hundred it's just that there was new thing being invented back then so they needed more gods or goddesses to be on a specific subject even though they could have done it themselves they couldn't do that many things at once, even though they were the ones who probably influenced us to make it.
Ok your probably board about all this son defeating father stuff and the maybe the gods influenced us stuff so that's why I decided to move on to comparing creatures in movies to creatures in Greek mythology. Chewbacca he sort of reminded me of satyrs because of their fur even thou that the satyrs fur is just on their legs Chewbacca has fur everywhere. Fluffy from harry potter is exactly the same as Cerberus they both have three heads and they both guard something. I think that Hadgrid stole Cerberus and renamed him fluffy because he's the only three headed dog unless he cloned Cerberus then returned him to the under world. Also I believe that Harry Potter is based of of mythology because they have unicorns, giants, centaurs, werewolves, and etc. Do you remember when Harry Potter got saved by a centaur that was probably Chiron.
Sadly it’s the end of this blog. Tell me what your favorite myth is in the comments below. Hope you enjoyed, The File Keeper —out
