What modern kind of media (books, movies, television shows) have you been exposed to Greek Mythology? Has that exposure been accurate or is it just "kind of like the original"?
-i have the media references already i just need the second question answered. can someone answer it ,preferably this week?
Answer
Not at all like the original, given most views of greek mythology are based in Bullfinch's Mythology and as such are basically a crib book version for 19th century students trying to read Homer. Adapted in the modern era into stock bands of superhero substitutes, reduced to a baseball card like short list of stats.
The absurd organization of Greek Gods into a Pantheon with separate spheres of responsibility is based on later accounts and writers and has little or no real connection to the practice of the actual religions, which had a great deal of variation and cross cultural influences.
