Abstract :

The influence of myth and its role in the formation of religions, culture, civilization and customs of any nation cannot be denied. In this regard, the geek mythology is remarkable due to the pivotal role of human and its subsequent effects on religions, philosophy, and literary and philosophical schools. Fred rich Wilhelm Niche as a philosopher has always praised the Greek culture and mythology and has mentioned and adored the Greek mythology in most of his works. He has also discussed such ideas as super human and the eternal return. Perhaps those familiar with Niche know him by the idea of super human. Given studies carried out, it seems there are similarities between ancient Greek mythology (the third generation of Greek mythology i.e. heroes), humanism doctrine (naturalism, relativity of values in human, rationalism) and the meaning of Niche’s super human. This study aims to reach a comprehensive definition for Niche’s super human and/or perfect and superior human from his viewpoint then examine Niche being affected by Greek mythology using humanism doctrine.
