The Best Greek Mythology Resources for Writers
The Best Greek Mythology Resources for Writers
Introduction:
One of the questions I get alot from my readers and fellow writers is where I source my information on the Greek Myths from. As you know if you’ve read my work, The Queens of Fantasy Saga is entrenched in multiple mythologies and religions, but this first saga focuses chiefly on the Greeks and Mount Olympus. I have always thought that before bastardising ancient myths for the good of your own art, you should know what you’re talking about, so i have studied these in great depth and am actually currently studying an online diploma on exactly this subject as well via The Centre of Excellence. I thought in the spirit of supporting all those who come after me and wish to learn of the Greek Myths for their own storytelling I would share my top resources!
Whether you’re looking for Poetry to give you a feel of the Gods’ and Goddesses’ personalities, a more historical view of the myths and their impact on both Greek and Modern Day society, or just the stories themselves, I’ve got you covered!
Conclusion:
To conclude, you can see that I had a hard time narrowing down this list. There are other podcasts, television series, movies, and audiobooks which are also awesome for learning about The Greek Myths, but the ones i’ve included are all books because these are my favourite for referencing purposes while i’m writing.
BONUS TIP: I also find using my Echo Dot and asking Alexa for quick facts or details i’ve forgotten mid flow is an excellent way of making sure i have things correct and just the way i want them while i’m actually typing.
I hope you find these as useful as I have, after all, The Greek Myths are some of the most captivating in our history, and it is both my honour and duty to do them as much justice as i can when including them into my fiction.
Happy writing,
