Editing Greek Mythology (section)

==/tg/ relevance==
As ''the'' single most well-known mythology to the Western Audience until the ''very'' late decades of the 1900s, Greek Mythology casts a vast shadow over fantasy gaming as a whole. One could argue the very idea of the [[adventurer]] traces back to the Greek Hero...although admittedly that's a stretch, since slaying monsters and questing for treasure is a pretty damn common motif in myths the world over. Seriously, even Buddhism has the [[Journey to the West]].

[[Dungeons & Dragons]] owes a massive debt to Greek Mythology. Most of its iconic monsters are rooted in either Greek Mythology, [[Norse Mythology]], or European Mythology, with a smattering of exotic foreign creatures like the [[rakshasa]] and the [[genie]]. In many ways, D&D could be said to be ''the'' biggest redefiner of Greek Mythology in all of /tg/ culture, since concepts like creating entire races from singular Greecian monsters were born in D&D.

[[Arkadia]] and [[Odyssey of the Dragonlords]] are D&D settings that double-down on D&D's roots in Greek mythology. [[Theros]] was similarly [[Magic the Gathering]]'s take on Greek Mythology.
