Social hierarchies in various mythological narratives are depicted through the relationships between gods, heroes, and mortals. For example, in Greek mythology, the gods reside at the top of the hierarchy, with mortals subject to their whims and expectations. This influences the behavior and decisions of human characters, often constraining them within a predefined social structure. Such depictions reinforce societal norms and expectations, illustrating the interplay between power, morality, and the consequences of defying established order.
