PRESENTATION OUTLINE
The Greeks believe that after death their souls go to the banks of the river Styx, and if they are not buried with a coin they cannot get a boat ride across, though some swim across, most don't make it. After you cross you are reborn into a new body with no memories.
The leprechaun is likely the most widely known type of fairy living in Ireland. Leprechauns have been in existence in Irish legend since the medieval times. Traditionally, leprechauns are tall fairies and often appear to humans as an old man – much different from the modern view of a small, childlike fairy in a green suit. As legend holds, Leprechauns love to collect gold, which they store in a pot and hide at the end of a rainbow. If a human catches a leprechaun, the fairy must grant the human three-wishes before he can be released.

Pangu Separates the Sky from the Earth
The sky and the earth were at first one blurred entity like an egg. Pangu was born into it. The separation of the sky and the earth took eighteen thousand years-the yang which was light and pure rose to become the sky, and the yin which was heavy and murky sank to form the earth. Between them was Pangu, who went through nine changes every day, his wisdom greater than that of the sky and his ability greater than that of the earth. Every day the sky rose ten feet higher, the earth became ten feet thicker, and Pangu grew ten feet taller. Another eighteen thousand years passed, and there was an extremely high sky, an extremely thick earth, and an extremely tall Pangu. Then came the Three Emperors(1).

You can obviously contrast the myths by origin, then you can separate by topic, the Greek myth was about the afterlife, the Irish myth was about leprechauns, and the Chinese was about the start of the world.
Myths are old stories written for adults and children usually used to prove natural events, fables and folk/fairy tales are written to teach a lesson to children
