Greek Mythology
Greek Mythology, also referred to as Classical Mythology, is the mythology of the ancient Greeks.
The term Classical Mythology is used to also include the Romans. Though Iāve never heard about anything that is explicitly Roman.A) Everything Iāve heard is focused around the Greeks.
Media Depictions
Appleseed
Appleseed has very surface-level references to Greek Mythologyā¦mostly by borrowing names. Basically every name originates from Greek Mythology.
Chronicles of Darkness
Vampire: The Requiem includes super antagonists called the Strix which are originally derived from a Roman vampiric owl creatureā¦thing. I think.
There are almost certainly more derivations from Greek Mythology, I just donāt know what they all are.
Thereās also Promethean: The Created which references Greek Mythology with the name. But I donāt know if thereās anything else of note there.
Kami Nomi zo Shiru Sekai
The goddess arc of Kami Nomi zo Shiru Sekai makes the references to Greek Mythology. The goddesses are named after deities from Greek and Roman Mythology. Though Iām not sure if there are any more overt references. I might notice later.
Persona
There are definitely some references to Greek Mythology in Persona, but I wonāt bother looking into it until later.
Toaru Project
Toaru Project probably has some references to Greek Mythology, though I canāt remember any. Iād find it strange if there were none at all.
Then again, Toaru is more concerned with Science, Abrahamic religion and esotericism.
WarCraft
Warcraftās dryad is pretty obvious andā¦thatās all I can think of.
World of Darkness
Thereās a game-line called āOrpheusā though I know nothing about it. Iām just mentioning it.
One of the most important Toreador characters is Helena, who ate Midos and Midosā son was the Minotaur (also a vampire). Iāll look into it a bit further later.
