#2 Similarities between Greek & Indian Mythology :

As children, we all have loved the Greek Gods and desired to have power like them. We've played games like God of War & Titan Quest. We've read books like The Percy Jackson series. We've watched movies like Wrath of the Titans, Percy Jackson, etc.

Meanwhile, in India, the Hindus have got Gods of their own. The children in India are taught about their Gods when they're kids and when they grow up and come to know about the Greek Gods, they start wondering if the two deities are one and the same thing!

I did some research and found some really interesting facts.

1. You must all be familiar with
Zeus, the King of Mt. Olympus. The god of Thunder & Lightening.


Similarly, the Hindus have Indra, the king of the Swargalok (Heaven) and God of thunder & rain.

2. The three major Gods in Greek Mythology namely, Zeus - Father of all men and Gods, Poseidon - God of the sea residing in the city of Atlantis and Hades - God of the underworld.

Similarly, in Hindu mythology, they have three higher Gods, namely Brahma - creator of eveything, Vishnu - The God who lives in the Sea and Mahesh- The God of death or the Destroyer.

There are so many similarities between creature, myths, Gods, demigods and other things that makes us wonder, " What if the two cultures used to be one and the same thing? If yes, what was the reason they became different? Was Greek connected to India in the past?"

All of these questions shall be answered in a series of episodes soon to be posted on my Youtube channel about which you will be informed through future posts.
