LOC-SH: Mythology, Greek

A potent pantheon of gods, heroes engaged in epic battles, fearsome mythical creatures and supernatural transformations - such fantastical elements infuse Greek myths with a wonder and excitement that's hard to beat. These tales of love, courage and intrigue, shared for thousands of years, still exercise a powerful influence on our modern lives
