I see the contest is over but although Percy Jackson has been mentioned numerous times I would like to point out Michael Scott’s The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel series. Very well written collection with a wide selection of mythical creatures, deities and historical figures living (and fighting) today.

I don’t know if you’re still running a contest, but my personal favorites are by Sophocles:
Ajax, Electra, Philoctetes, The Women of Trachis, Oedipus (top of list favorite), Antigone.

Other gods and heroes with fun stories:
Bellerophon, Theseus, The Epigoni, Meleager and the Boar, Prometheus, Europa, Heracles, the Last Tantalides . . . I could go forever.

Also a spin-off of Greek mythology (still a great read): C.S. Lewis’ “Till We Have Faces”

Mission: Impossible II also has a Greek mythology reference with Bellerophon and Chimera.

Also, a new “Clash of the Titans” is coming out this year, featuring Sam Worthington (from Avatar) as Perseus.

Oh how could I forget BSG?! slaps forehead. Great one Anna!

I could add that Stargate SG1 and Stargate Atlantis have references to Greek Mythology (the second one having Atlantis in the title) – and their ships Pegasus, Icarus, Daedalus.

The Illiad by Homer

Hello-
I hope this message finds you well, I am writing to you regarding theweb series “O-Cast” that went live online Monday October 26th. Here isa bit of info on O-Cast; created by a team of over 50 recent collegegraduates in NYC:

“O-Cast is a mockumentary web series created by the twelve Olympian
gods of Greek mythology to broadcast their new lives as 20-something
New Yorkers. Comedy ensues as they combine forces to convince the
mortals of their modern relevance and inspire a new generation of
believers. Shot in high-definition and broadcast in short episodes
online, O-Cast merges ancient legend with the power of viral video.”

More detailed information and our Press Kit (photos & info) can be
found at http://www.o-cast.com/press.html

Episodes, Trailers and video content is available:
