Snake-haired Gorgons, one-eyed Cyclops, beautiful men doomed by their own vanity... Greek mythology is not only foundational to Western literature, but has also served as a guidebook for humanity - endlessly fascinating in its fantastical but deeply relatable drama.
The release of Christopher Nolan's blockbuster adaptation of Homer's epic The Odyssey has reignited interest, too. Having made $264m (€232m) in its opening weekend alone, the movie looks set to be one of the biggest box office successes of 2026.
