It is theorized that Shakespeare was exposed to quite a bit of mythological stories when in school at Stratford-upon-Avon. Shakespeare's early tragedy, "Titus Andronicus", reflects many mythological references. It is apparent in his work that he read and admired Ovid (a Roman poet who wrote about love, seduction, and mythological transformation) and probably learned a lot about metrics of writing poetry and couplets from his work. (Couplets: the last two lines of his sonnets are called couplets which basically wind up what the Sonnet was about).
Based on his sonnets, Shakespeare may have written them for rival poets, himself, his mistress and/or a young male friend. HIs plays were influenced by love, history, who were the queen/king of England, what their preferences, likes and dislikes were at the time of their reign: Did they like plays; were they being threatened; what kind of proganda was needed for the country at the time of his writings? He was competitive! He may have plagerized some work (this is total conjecture). All-in-all, he was a true artist with his pen and paper.
Whether Shakespeare wrote every work as his original piece will always be a debatable topic. However, research for yourselves to find out exactly how many words we use today that he created himself, i.e. 'assasination' in Macbeth was the first time written, created and used. (If I remember correctly, he created 27,000 words which we use today--or use most of them. If this number is incorrect, my point is that he created more words than you and I will ever use.)
I would encourage you, if you are interested in Shakespeare, to study him, his work, the history of that time, and all facts and conjectures that have been made. This man and his works influence us to this very day. This is true
