Mythology has long been a source of inspiration for literature, providing timeless stories of gods, heroes, and fantastical creatures. From Homer's 'Iliad' to modern retellings like Madeline Miller’s 'Circe,' mythological themes continue to shape narratives and character archetypes in literature.
These myths often reflect the values, fears, and aspirations of the societies that created them. Greek, Roman, Norse, and Egyptian mythologies have all influenced classic and contemporary works, allowing writers to draw on the rich tapestry of gods, monsters, and moral lessons to enrich their stories.
