I go back and research, say, every reference to the Gorgons, and I find what the classical writers said about them and it's so much richer than you might get in an average Greek mythology text. I feel like an archaeologist - I'm dusting off these things that people have not seen for thousands of years and bringing them into the modern world.

Rick Riordan

I guess darkness serves a purpose: to show us that there is redemption through chaos. I believe in that. I think that's the basis of Greek mythology.

Brendan Fraser

Superheroes fill a gap in the pop culture psyche, similar to the role of Greek mythology. There isn't really anything else that does the job in modern terms. For me, Batman is the one that can most clearly be taken seriously.

Christopher Nolan

There's something about the superheroes and the idea behind their relationship with humans, whether it's a metaphor for the better part of ourselves, or the more flawed part of ourselves. So it seems to really be our own pop-culture version of Greek mythology.

Clark Gregg

In Greek mythology, the hero wants to be great, but the very concept does not exist in the Indian vocabulary. Yet it has become the global template. And it's a template that won't fit in India.

Devdutt Pattanaik

I didn't study Greek mythology in school and I wish I had.

Eric Bana

The muse of music isn't just from Greek mythology, but living in people like the Beatles, Chuck Berry, Anita Baker, Aretha Franklin.

Ernie Isley

To be half-naked for a Greek mythology movie, it's a piece of art. You know, there's nothing vulgar in there.

Irina Shayk

I grew up being very interested in Greek mythology because my mum read to my sister and I.

Isabel Lucas

I'm obsessed with Greek mythology. My favorite goddess is Artemis. She's strong and reminds me of Katniss, the heroine of 'The Hunger Games.'

Isabelle Fuhrman

Of all the subjects on this planet, I think my parents would have been hard put to name one less useful than Greek mythology to securing the keys to an executive bathroom.

J. K. Rowling

That period of history has always fascinated me - Greek history, Greek mythology.

Jared Harris

There is nothing new, from Greek mythology to Shakespeare to every romcom ever made, we're just reimagining the same 12 story plots over and over again - so what makes people keep watching and listening? It's all about the character.

Jeremy Renner

I'm extremely into Greek Mythology and know almost everything about the classic Greek myths.

Jinkx Monsoon

I believe that the Kane/Undertaker story, if you look at epic storytelling like Greek mythology, that is what it is. It is the best piece of epic storytelling that the WWE has ever done.

Kane

In Greek mythology, Cassandra was given the gift of prophecy, except - due to her rejection of Apollo's affections - nobody would ever believe her warnings.

Kara Swisher

I used to like Norse mythology, Greek mythology, Egyptian mythology. All mythology!

Kendrick Sampson

II know a little about Greek mythology. It's not that far away from the Nordic mythology.

Mads Mikkelsen

I know a little about Greek mythology. It's not that far away from the Nordic mythology.

Mads Mikkelsen

It did remind me of something out of Greek mythology - the richest king who gets everything he wants, but ultimately his family has a curse on it from the Gods.

Martin Scorsese

'Star Wars' is mythology. It's like Greek mythology or Shakespeare. It's the story of good versus evil over a very long span of time. The storytelling is universal and timeless.
