Read the summary of the contemporary novel Jurassic Park. A wealthy businessman uses modern DNA technology to bring dinosaurs back from extinction. He breeds many varieties of dinosaurs and plans to open a theme park where visitors can see them. However, the dinosaurs soon escape their pens and wreak havoc across the park, resulting in death and destruction. How did Ancient Greek mythological literature most likely influence this story

By using dangerous and frightening creatures.

Explanation:

Ancient mythologies have creatures such as the Minotaur or the Gorgons, Scylla, etc. as part of their stories. These monsters are more often the obstacles that prevented the hero/heroine from achieving their aim or success.

Similarly, the plot structure of the contemporary 'monster-driven story' of Jurassic Park would be similar to that of Greek myths. The monsters in the Greek myths would be influential in the development of the story's plot by introducing the extinct dinosaurs into modern-day life, wreaking havoc in the lives of the people. Not only that, they impeded and even killed people, becoming the image of monsters of destruction and death.

glamis thou art, and cawdor; and shalt be what thou art promis'd; yet do i fear thy nature; it is too full o' the milk of human kindness to catch the nearest way: thou wouldst be great; art not without ambition; but without the illness should attend it. what thou wouldst highly, that wouldst thou holily; wouldst not play false, and yet wouldst wrongly win: thou'dst have, great glamis, that which cries, "thus thou must do, if thou have it: and that which rather thou dost fear to do than wishest should be undone." hie thee hither, that i may pour my spirits in thine ear; and chastise with the valor of my tongue all that impedes thee from the golden round, which fate and metaphysical aid doth seem to have thee crown'd withal.
