20 Best Greek Mythology Movies

There is something indelibly appealing about Greek mythology movies, from classics like Spartacus to more recent fare like Troy (2004). They incorporate imaginative fantasy elements into the sincerity of religion. It is the magical realism of the highest order, wherein humans coexist with monsters. The gods themselves were every bit as flawed as humans, making them unexpectedly relatable. They were vain and vengeful, inviting convoluted and operatic drama. Further, civilization itself was deeply intriguing. Their politics and customs are unique, fascinating pieces of history, from which we are not especially far removed. Their grandiose stories and lives will perpetuate them in eternity as proven by many films in the genre.
