In both Greek and Chinese mythology the heroes like Hercules and the monkey king help teach us lessons we need to know or is the person who helps lead the story so the person making the mistake makes the mistake. A example would be Ne Zha in the legend of Ne Zha. The boy(Yes its a boy i was shocked to hear too)caused to many problems causing his father to hate him. Another similarity would be both Gods in Chinese and Greek mythology seek revenge on people who dishonor them. Examples would be Athena turning Medusa into a gorgon and the Chinese gods punishing the monkey king.
