Greek mythology is everywhere, in blockbuster games, bestselling novels and superhero films. But how much do you know about the original stories?
Zeus, Athena, Hercules, the Trojan Horse... Greek mythology has inspired everything from God of War to Percy Jackson. This quiz goes back to the original stories.
Greek mythology has never really gone away. Percy Jackson brought the Olympians to a new generation. God of War gave Kratos a full pantheon to work through. Hades the game turned the Underworld into a bestseller. But behind all of it are the actual myths, and they are richer, stranger and more entertaining than the adaptations.
This quiz goes back to the source: the gods of Olympus (Zeus, Hera, Athena, Poseidon, Hades and the rest), the heroes, the monsters and the great epics. Even everyday words like chaos, echo, muse and olympian have their roots here. How well do you know the originals?
