摘　　要：希腊与中国创世神话中所体现的民族精神古代中国文化属于第一文明,很少接受外来的影响。历史化和道德化进程开始过早,导致神话素材过早片断化,但同时也保留了一些原始神话的色彩。善良,坚忍不拔与自我牺牲精神等中国的传统美德在中国的创世神话中有所体现。相比之下,古希腊文化属于第三文明,颇受外来文明与海上文明的影响,所以希腊神话中的神祗大多追求权势,已不属于道德的范畴了。当然,在中国神话中也存在神祗对权势的渴望;而在希腊神话中也有道德的因素。Ancient Chinese culture belongs to the First Civilization. It has rarely inherited or absorbed any elements from other civilizations. The process of mythic historicalization and ethicalization began too early, thus resulting in the fragmentary recording of mythic materials. But at the same time, some primitive mythic content has been retained. Such traditional virtues as goodness, perseverance and self-sacrifice are embodied in Chinese creation myths. By contrast, ancient Greek culture belongs to the Third Civilization, influenced by external forces and Oceanic Civilization. Therefore, most gods in Greek Mythology seek for powers, being non-ethical. Of course, there is co-existence of ethics and powers in both Chinese and Greek creation myths.
