The bright and distant ancient Greek civilization has nurtured an exotic flowers in literature-ancient Greek Myth has still given out vigor and boundless charm today. It has been endowed with too much meanings and symbols up till now. There are always different kinds of evolution forms and presenting mode of it which are dazzling and leaving a memorable taste from it was born in oral form to the reproduction in papers even to simulation in electronical media such as movies and TV programs.Generally speaking, this progress can be summarized as the visual process which can be divided into three periods:firstly the oral inheritance, then the literal heritage and today's inheritance with movies, TV and network. In this progress the figure of Greek myth is gradually becoming clear, and maturity. We can believe it has covered various forms, shapes and media of literature. Through the exploration of visualization process, we find that the formation mechanism of ancient Greek myth's meaning is changing.The first part of paper is the discussion about its evolution of means of communication. And in the second part, we want to study mythological significance of the formation mechanism of its meaning in different process. Finally, we attempt to interpret the significance of myths from the point of view of iconography in visual process.Through analysing the visualization of it then we can conclude that each mode of transmission gives us some ways of seeing. This is not only the way we see the world but also changes people's way of thinking.
