"Anthropomorphism" and "Transcendentalism" as two technical and theological doctrines have intra-religious applications and extra-religious implications and are conceptually assumed to be complementary and equivalent. The use of "Anthropomorphism" and "Transcendentalism" in religious traditions is universal and widespread, but the mythological culture of Greece is conceived in a special way as the carrier and manifestation of the religious uses of these two terms; So that the Greek gods are assumed theologically to be beyond the realm of pure Anthropomorphism, while practically "Anthropomorphism" and "Transcendentalism" cannot be easily recognized in god's description. The importance of this issue becomes twofold when we know that Greek gods have gradually evolved from more immanent images to more transcendent figures according to a kind of linear and evolutionary pattern and the very transcendentalist tendencies have provided the preparations for the Greek people to transit from the religious era to the philosophical era. Since apparently the analysis of the origin and dimensions of this issue has been neglected in terms of research, the present research is based on this issue, what are the semantic realms, ratios and consequences of "Anthropomorphism" and "Transcendentalism" based on the reports of Greek mythology?
