How to Understand the Relationship Between the "Two Greek" Traditions in Western Literature

The two Greek traditions refer to the Greek and Hebrew traditions of Western civilization.

Originality

Western civilization is basically composed of two subcultures, the Greek tradition and the Hebrew tradition. They were initially two different cultural traditions in two different societies, but later the Roman Empire annexed Greece and the Middle East, and the two cultures were incorporated into one society .

It is said that when a Westerner takes refuge, if he takes only two books with him, he must have a copy of the Greek Myths and a copy of the Bible.

This shows that "Ancient Greek-Roman literature and Hebrew-Christian literature (referred to as "the two Greeks") are the sources of Western literature.

"The culture of Ancient Greek literature is characterized by the structural framework of the trinity of 'God-original desire-man';

"In Hebrew-Christian literature, 'Spirit' replaces 'Spirit' in the Hebrew-Christian literature. 'Spirit' replaces 'flesh', and in the understanding about 'man', it shows a clear division from ancient Greek literature, with 'God-Reason-Man ' in the form of a trinity, and its cultural substance is of a religious-rational type, embodying a religious humanistic consciousness."
