Mythos

This month we're thrilled to get to chat with the creator of Mytho, a new strategy game that lets you bring Greek myth to life.

We dive back into the wonderful world of Jorge Rivera-Herrans’ Epic - an incredible musical retelling of the Odyssey.

We follow Percy Jackson and his friends from the depths of the underworld to the heights of Olympus in the series finale.

This week we join our heroes as they challenge the gods - running into Hermes, Ares, Hephaestus and even the Fates...

We dive back into the world of Percy Jackson as our heroes continue their adventure - and we take a look at Medusa, Echidna and the Chimera

Inspired by Greek myths and a fantastic book series, we take a look at the new Disney+ Percy Jackson and the Olympians series.

This week we explore the incredible Epic concept album, which retells the story of the Odyssey, from Troy to Polyphemus the Cyclops.

The focus of Euripides' famous play, Medea was wife to the Greek hero Jason and both mother and murderer to his children.

Once human, the constellations of Ursa Major and Ursa Minor are said to have been placed into the night sky as stars by the Greek god Zeus.

Mythos continues our exploration of Cyprus as we take a look at the birthplace of Aphrodite, Goddess of love.

This week we continue our introduction to the Trojan War, exploring the deaths of some of Greece's most famous and beloved heroes.

The Trojan War is one of the most well known wars from myth, fought between the Greeks and the Romans. We take a look at how it began.

We summarise a classical Greek tragedy, originally collected in Ovid's Metamorphoses, telling a tale of murder, betrayal and revenge.

This week Mythos delves into Greek myth as we take a look at Hadestown, a stunning musical reimagining of Orpheus and Eurydice.

According to Greek myth, many plants were once human - run afoul of a god's temper, or pity. We take a look at some of these unlucky people.

"They say monsters can be beautiful too, and if that is the case then truly there was none more monstrous than he."

"Narcissus does not fall in love with his reflection because it is beautiful, but because it is his." ― W. H. Auden

They may not be throwing thunderbolts, and sending storms, but the minor gods of Greco-Roman myth had their own (very odd) parts to play.

Flashy, vibrant and with a stunning soundtrack, Disney's Hercules is definitely eye-catching - but how close is it to the original myths?

"Love is born into every human being; it calls back the halves of our original nature together," - Plato
