Greek myths were part of an oral tradition that began in the Bronze Age, and their plots and themes unfolded gradually in the written literature of the archaic and classical periods. It was around 2300 BC, when a man named Alexander had stepped foot in India leading to a cultural exchange evident even today. The existence of Alexander is seen in Shraman parampara and stories about him are found in the form of folklore, especially in the Jain tradition. Devdutt elaborates on some popular Greek mythological stories and explores the difference between Indian mythology and Greek Mythology
