Mythology+Today



Even though we now know that the Greek myths really are just myths, mythology still exists today. It's in movies, books, toys, and more! It might not be our way of life, we might not worship the Greek gods anymore, but they're still incorporated into our daily life.

You may recognize these popular movies/ books about Greek mythology:



Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan



The Wrath of the Titans (movie)



Immortals (movie)

As you can see, Greek mythology never truly went away. We never forgot about it. It's simply become more like fantasy stories, and less like true beliefs. See, back in B.C.E., the Greeks had no modern technology, so they had no reason to think that it wasn't Zeus controlling the lightning, or Poseidon controlling the waves. But now, we have ways of disproving the myths, and yet we still kept them around, just for a good story.
