Common Uses

Greek Mythology is often incorporated into the field of entrainment. Books, films, and plays have all been written based on Greek myths and legends

Interesting Use

A common, but sometimes forgotten, use of Greek mythology is that of language. Much of the English language originates from Greek or Latin roots.

Allusions

Allusions are indirect references to stories or other memories. Many common allusions refer back to Greek myths. Some examples are:

  • The Little Mermaid (mermaids are derived from Sirens, Ariel's father's name is Neptune [the Roman god of the sea], and Ursula was based off of the Greek monster Scylla)
  • Atlas Gym (Atlas is the titan that was forced to hold up the sky, so it wouldn't crush the earth. He is associated with strength, so many gyms are named after him)
  • Common sayings: Achilles' heel, Trojan horse, etc.

Greek Mythology in the 21st Century

My Opinion

I absolutely love Greek mythology. I think it is so interesting. All of the stories and myths really make me want to research more. Moreover, I enjoy all of the morals behind many of the stories. They are fun to use, on occasion, when teaching children lessons.
