No one knows for sure, but mirrors appear in literature from all ages. In Greek mythology, the hero Perseus killed Medusa by using a mirrored shield so as not to gaze upon her monstrous appearance (she turned anyone who looked at her to stone).
In Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass, protagonist Alice uses a mirror as a portal to a strange alternate world.
A common use is that of scrying with a mirror. In Canterbury Tales, "The Squire's Tale" describes a magical mirror that can look over a king's realm; similarly, in The Faerie Queene, Merlin enchants a mirror to have this power. Another example, from the German tales of the brothers Grimm, is Snow White, in which the Wicked Queen consults a magic mirror to determine the identity of the most beautiful woman in the world; this mirror is capable of scrying the forest and finding Snow White.
Manifestations or Messengers of God are often referred to as stainless "Mirrors of God", Who reflect the attributes of God in the sanctified person of an infallible human being. Such Mirrors include Krishna, Abraham, Moses, Buddha, Jesus, Muhammad, the Bab and Baha'u'llah. The concept also appears in Sufism.

Well the ancient Egyptians were the first known group to use mirror's as a heating source and the mirror's reflective source.. Then the Chinese stared later on to use mirror's in a big way also.............. Then much latter in history the rest of the world started using mirror's... One more thing the first mirror's were made out of highly polish metal.. Glass mirror's came along much more later in world history....................................................................................

From the curiosity of Man how he/she looks like.... without having to go to a still pond and look at one's reflected image on the surface of the water. Mirrors cater to vanity.
