Don’t be like Zeus!

Muses of Mythology explores how ancient myths grow with modern retellings.

How did Medusa go from terrifying monster to feminist icon?

Do we have free will, or is everything destined by fate?

Why is everyone in love with the King of the Underworld?

These are questions Muses of Mythology aims to answer.
