The film, Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief explores many ideas and tales which originate form Greek Mythology. The director, Chris Columbus has though, changed details of the original myths to express cinematographic effects to the intended audience (as the film is rated M). Very briefly, Zeus accuses the son of Poseidon of stealing his distinct thunder bolt and gives Poseidon 10 days to return the thunderbolt. Percy Jackson realizes that he is the son of Poseidon; a demi-god and peruses several adventures to find and return the thunderbolt to Zeus and save his mother from Hades. Percy’s adventures are influenced from several tales of Greek Mythology; Heracles, Percus, Dionysus and Odysseus, just to name a few.
After Philip is assassinated, Alexander becomes king of Macedonia. Ptolemy briefly mentions Alexander's punitive campaign in which he razes Thebes and burns Persepolis, then gives an overview of Alexander's west-Persian campaign, including his declaration as the son of Zeus by the Oracle of Amun at Siwa Oasis, his great battle against the Persian Emperor Darius III in the Battle of Gaugamela and his eight-year campaign across Asia. Also shown are Alexander's private relationships with his childhood friend Hephaestion and later his wife Roxana. Hephaestion compares Alexander to Achilles, to which Alexander replies that, if he is Achilles, Hephaestion must be his Patroclus (Achilles' best friend and his lover). When Hephaestion mentions that
What would be a better way of demonstrating their superiority than to capture the god of war himself? As their first act of defiance the pair set out to capture the unsuspecting Ares. They traveled to Thrace where they found the god at home in his palace, promptly seized him and held him prisoner in a bronze jar which they hid at the home of their grandmother Eriboea. With Ares neatly out of their way, the two man army continued with their attempt to seige Mount Olympus. In order to build a bridge that would reach to the divine palace of the gods, Mount Pelion was first placed atop of Mount Ossa.
He lives with his aunt and uncle and whenever he asks who his father was they just abruptly say he’s dead. In the Greek myth “Theseus”, Theseus’s, the hero of the story, origins are also mysterious as he lives with his mother in a small fishing viallage and is told that his father is a king in a far off land. Both of their actual fathers are essentially gods, as Luke Skywalker’s dad is Darth Vader and Theseus’s father is Poseidon. Another way Luke Skywalker’s story is the same as a Greek myth is his decision to leave home. In almost all Greek myths the hero has a hard time leaving his home until he is pushed to do so.
The first gods were Chaos, Uranus, and his father Cronus (“Early Life”). Cronus swallowed his first five children because he believed they would try to overthrow him. Zeus’ grandmother Rhea substituted a stone wrapped in clothing for baby Zeus, and Cronus swallowed the stone along with the other children (“Early Life”). After Cronus had thrown up Zeus and his brothers and sisters, they began a war against Cronus that lasted for 10 years (Morford and Lenardon;”Early Life”).When the war was over, Zeus overthrew Cronus and the Titans with the help of his siblings. Zeus threw a lightning bolt at Cronus, and banished him to the underworld for all of eternity (“Early Life”).
The Persian army that vastly outnumbered the Spartans was beat back for two days and during those defeats they suffered heavy losses. All was lost on the third day after a traitor revealed to the Persian King Xexres that there was a hidden path that would lead his army behind the Spartan lines. We will never know if King Leonidas would have been able to defeat the Persian forces because he and all his men were slaughtered that third day. The setting of the movie 300 expresses political, religious, and social customs that ruled over the entire place. However, the most recognizable aspect of the culture of Spartans seen in the movie is their incorporation to warfare and military culture.
Zues conviced his brother Hades to create a creature so powerful that it could deafeat the titans. So Hades created a creature called Kraken from his own flesh and blood and it was so powerful that it defeated the titans and end their rule in the world. The titans are supposed to be locked in the underworld inside the tartarus gates.

In both myths Medusa and her sisters are punished by turning into horrible beast. In most ancient myths all three gorons could turn people into stone by looking at them, in Percy Jackson only Medusa was capable of such a thing. Something that stayed the same is that when Medusa was turned into a gorgon she was pregant so when Perseus cut of her head Pegasus and Chrysaor sprang from her neck. The countless things that changed and stayed can be argued to a minute point but the core ideas have stayed the same throughout history Satyrs are forset creatures that have the torso and head of a man and the legs of a goat, they also have a set of goat horns on the top of their head. They genernaly are either free spirts or in the service of Dionysus.
