A mitologia grega sempre desempenhou um papel altamente influente no desenvolvimento da cultura e da arte. As histórias envolvendo divindades gregas serviram de base para numerosos livros, peças de teatro, música e filmes. Os próprios deuses gregos mantiveram fama e notoriedade, como Afrodite, a deusa do amor e da beleza, seu marido Héfesto, o deus deformado do fogo e da forja, e o inesquecível Poseidon, deus do mar e parceiro adúltero de Afrodite.

Os mitos gregos são conhecidos por sua tragédia e os deuses, por sua natureza humana, ampliada várias vezes. Essas histórias fantásticas e aterrorizantes de monstros, lutas, amores e guerras inspiraram a criação de algumas das mais belas obras de arte do mundo. Pinturas e esculturas de notáveis artistas comemoram triunfos, derrotas, poder, glórias e tragédias épicas que formam nossa cultura. Confira!
