Abstract

In the long course of history, Greek and Roman mythology has gradually formed specific cultural connotations after inheritance and development for thousands of years, exerting an extensive and far-reaching influence on the language and culture in the western society, and even penetrating into English language and literature in every regard. This paper analyzed the origin of Greek and Roman mythology, and based on an exploration of the relationship between Greek and Roman mythology and English language and literature, made a proper analysis of the enlightenment of Greek and Roman mythology to English language and literature, hoping to provide some support for the further development of English language and literature.
