Great Greek mythology has provided endless inspiration for painters, sculptors, and architects, from ancient temple friezes to Renaissance masterpieces and beyond. Even today, these myths continue to mesmerize and move us, as if whispering secrets from a world long gone.
- Zeus had a lightning addiction? The king of gods hurled over 100,000 lightning bolts in ancient texts. Talk about a power trip!
- Aphrodite was born from sea foam and drama. When Cronus tossed Uranus’s ahem “bits” into the ocean, the foam birthed the goddess of love. Beauty truly rose from chaos.
- Hermes invented TikTok energy. Before delivering messages, he stole Apollo's cattle on his first day alive. Chaotic, neutral vibes.
Poets have been simplifying over Greek myths for Millennia.
- Homer’s Odyssey : The original “road trip gone wrong” saga. Cyclops? Check. Sirens?
- Ovid’s Metamorphoses : Ancient fanfiction where humans turn into trees, spiders, and constellations. Drama level: Olympian.
Romantic poet John Keats wrote Endymion about a shepherd loved by the moon goddess Selene. Imagine a bio: “Moonstruck mortal seeks eternal cuddles.”

Rewrite a myth in haiku form.
Example:
Persephone sighs,
Hades' pomegranate deal—
Mom's wrath shakes the earth.
Music has always been intertwined with mythology, and even today, the influence of Greek legends can be heard in various genres. Operas such as Monteverdi's L’Orfeo retell mythological tales, while modern rock bands like Fleetwood Mac reference mythic figures in songs like Sara. Power metal bands, symphonic compositions, and even pop music have all paid homage to the epic stories of Greek gods and heroes. What’s your favorite mythological music reference?
Stravinsky's Orpheus: A tragedy in three acts. Pro tip: Listen while staring dramatically at a river.
Richard Strauss' Elektra: Family drama meets operatic shrieks. Agamemnon’s ghost approves.
Bastille's Pompeii: “How am I gonna be an optimist about this?” asks a dude buried in volcanic ash (thanks, Vulcan!).
Florence and the Machine's Howl: Channeling Artemis with wolf-pack energy. Cue the midnight forest rave.
Greek mythology has made its way into countless songs across different genres. The band Coldplay referenced the legend of Orpheus and Eurydice in Viva La Vida, while the song Achilles Last Stand by Led Zeppelin takes inspiration from the warrior’s tragic fate. Florence and The Machine's Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up) evokes themes of sacrifice reminiscent of ancient myths. These songs, among many others, continue to bring mythology to life through melody and lyrics.
You may have a fascination with Greek mythology and want to embody Greek mythology on your body or in your clothing, such as Greek mythology tattoos, Greek mythology T-shirts, Greek mythology necklaces, and Greek orthodox cross. These are common, but for Greece, a country with a Mediterranean climate, do you know what is the best thing that reflects the Greek characteristics?
That's right, it's sunglasses. Unlike the sunshine in Spain and Italy, Greece has been bathed in the sunshine of the Greek spirit from history to the present, and you'd better match a pair of cool Greek sunglasses to its mysterious vibe.
