Answer 2

Roman and Greek myths, though originally have not been available in English, have deeply influenced English works. During the times of ancient Greeks, they had a belief that some invisible gods like Zeus had created this world. We read in such Greek's stories that passions for humans controlled the gods, and hence gods fought for them. Likewise, Romans also had beliefs in deities like Greeks. Due to mythological influences, many literary authors refer to the Greek and Roman myths in order to add meanings to their works such as Shakespeare in his play, "Romeo and Juliet," uses Greek mythology when Juliet cries saying that, "Gallop apace, you fiery-footed steeds, / Towards Phoebus' lodging." In Greek mythology, Phoebus was god of the sun, and here Juliet urges that god to bring him home hurriedly, so that night could come, and she may meet his lover Romeo.
