Hi guys, since my brother have all of the myths books covering from Norse to Celtic. I would like to write down my favourite Greek myth and the reason why.
1) Hercules (Heracles)
Since watching the Disney version, I was really appalled by the original Greek mythology story. His original Greek name was Heracles while Hercules is his Roman name, in the Greek myth, Hera his stepmother was the main antagonist and he was force to do the 12 labours after he killed his wife and children by accident.
2) Perseus and Medusa
I felt bad Perseus and his mother, ironically he was Heracles' great-grandfather. He and his mom were send after a prophecy claiming that the former would kill his maternal grandfather.
His cunning uncle send him to kill Medusa, fearing that his throne will be a threat.
3) Theseus and the Minotaur
I was really fascinated by this Greek Mythology and that Theseus managed to find the Minotaur in the labyrinth, at the same time it was really sad. That Theseus's father committed suicide in the end!
4) Jason and the Argonauts
I started watching this back in 2000, I love the story as it has a happy ending to it. His love life is a sad one, because of his betrayal with Medea and he lost the favour of Hera.
The End
Only 4 make it to the cut, enjoy reading them.
