Greek mythology has formed our culture during the centuries in a deeper way than we realize.
We can see it in popular culture with movies, songs, comics, and videogames references we don't even always recognize. We can find it in psychology, where the myths are used as examples of human behaviors. We can find it in astronomy with the names of stars, planets, and constellations. And if we think of brands, graphics, and logos, Greek mythology is very often present. Let's just think that the arguably most famous sportswear brand in the world is named after Nike, the Greek goddess of victory.
So, there are many many angles we can read greek mythology through
But...
