In ancient Greece, for example, the origin of hero worship could be traced back to the ancestor worship of the early Hellenians in the Dark Age. In Greece, hero worship was closely related to religious beliefs. Religious worship affected all aspects of social life. The objects of worship were divided into gods and heroes. Hero worship was the most unique feature of its religion, and heroes were also an important part of the image of Greek culture. In the Mycenaean era before Greece, there were almost no traces of worship of ancestors or heroes on a large scale. The funeral customs of the Mycenaean people showed that they believed that the soul had no influence when the body died, and the living lacked respect and worship for the dead. In the dark age, the greeks began to worship the mycenaean ancestors in the ancient tombs due to their respect for the huge ruins, ancient tombs, and funerary objects of the Mycenaean era. The remnants of the Mycenaean culture were spread through myths and legends. Some clan ancestor worship gradually exceeded the scope of a single clan and developed into regional hero worship. The rise of city-states and the spread of heroic epics finally established the hero worship of greece. In ancient China, the emergence of ancient heroes was due to people's superstitious psychology. In the ignorant period, people revered nature, animals and plants, and believed that all things had spirits. Heroes in the crowd were like gods. They could fight against heaven and earth. Legends such as Nüwa mending the sky and Kuafu chasing the sun reflected the complex of the ancestors worshiping brave heroes. Heroes could lead tribes to defeat nature and enemy tribes. Every tribe had their own heroes, and hero worship was a common phenomenon in tribes. Moreover, the worship of gods in ancient China also experienced a change from worshipping invisible gods to half-human and half-god gods (that is, heroes in tribes). In general, the historical and cultural background of ancient heroes was related to the various stages of the development of ancient society. From the early barbaric period to different stages such as the Dark Age of Greece, there was a soil for heroes and hero worship. Read more exciting novels for free
