The amazing similarities between the Hindu and Greek mythologies frequently crops up in comparative mythology – or the comparison of myths from different cultures in an attempt to identify shared themes and characteristics.
In Hindu mythology, the constant fight is between good and evil – the good represented by the devas (the gods) and the evil represented by the asuras (the demons). The asuras are the chief tormentors of the devas.
Similarly, Greek mythology is all about the Celtic gods of life and light, who wage a constant struggle against the Fomorians, ancient gods of death and darkness. In the Greek myth of the Titanomachy, the Olympian gods defeat the Titans, an older and more primitive divine race, to establish cosmic order. The Gods of Mount Olympus represents good while their antitheses are the Titans, representing evil.
