In ancient Greek culture, the afterlife was often viewed as a shadowy existence in the Underworld, where souls faced judgment and lived in a dreary state, with some achieving a more favorable existence in the Elysian Fields. In contrast, Hindu beliefs encompass a cyclical concept of life and death, where the soul undergoes reincarnation based on karma, ultimately seeking moksha, or liberation from the cycle of rebirth. While Greeks emphasized a linear progression towards a final resting place, Hindus focus on the ongoing journey of the soul through various lives.

According to Hamilton how does greek mythology differ from folklore of other ancient cultures why does it differ?

Unlike many other ancient cultures the Greek gods were human shaped and human nature at heart, they loved, they pitied, they cried - they were not monsters that only hated and were vengeful - there is a certain beauty in the Greek myths whose gods and goddesses were portrayed later as being beyond the need of human sacrifice which marked so many other cultures. There are hints to the dark past of Greek myth, but in the myths they seem remote even in the time when Greek myth was old religion.
