Greek myths come from ancient Greece and are focused on gods and goddesses, heroes, and epic adventures. Maori myths originate from the indigenous people of New Zealand, the Maori, and often revolve around nature, ancestors, and creation stories specific to their culture. While both types of myths share elements of storytelling and cultural significance, they vary in themes, characters, and settings.

In the traditional sense of a God, as a high deity that reigns above and rules over the lives of men, there really aren't any. The Maori people revere their elders and ancestors, not as gods, but as inspiration. They view warfare and battle as the true path to enlightenment. The common belief is that honor in battle brings 'Mana', a form of spiritual energy. This was true until the early 1800's, when many Maori people accepted Christianity. Many others (to this day) adopt the Islam faith (and it is the fastest growing religion to the Maori tribes).
The Maori and Greek Gods were known to be close. This Gods were well known in the early modern era.
