    Clocking in at roughly three hours, 1997'sThe Odysseycan be viewed as either one long movie or a two-part miniseries. A terrifically truthful adaptation of the Greek myth of Odysseus, the film recounts his 10-year journey home after the events of the Trojan War. As with many examples of ancient Greek mythology, the tale of Odysseus is long, complex, and full of allegory, and the 1997 film adaptation pulls no punches, including almost every aspect of the original story. It's a lengthy watch, b...

    Zack Snyder's stylish 2006 epic 300 may have served more directly as an adaptation of the 1998 comic series of the same name, but it also borrowed somewhat from 1962's The 300 Spartans. Aggrandized and over-the-top, audiences don't remember The 300 Spartans quite as well as some other Greek mythology movies in the genre, though it's nonetheless worthy of recognition. A recreation of the Battle of Thermopylae fought between Xerxes I and King Leonidas, The 300 Spartansfeatures some surprisingly...

    Though a few (mostly silent) films preceded it, the 1956 movie Helen of Troy is notable for being one of the earliest Greek mythology movies based on The Illiad and The Odyssey. The movie's plot follows the same large strokes as the source material, though it paints the Greek kings in a poorer light to build up the love-story elements of Helen and Paris. It was received relatively well by critics who primarily praised some of the set pieces (including the famous Trojan Horse trick), but the a...

    Based on the Sophocles Greek tragedy of the same name, Oedipus Rex is an Italian movie by director Pier Paolo Pasolini. The film follows Oedipus (Franco Citti) as he is abandoned in the desert as a child and rescued by a loving king and queen only to grow up and learn of a prophecy that he will kill his father, King Laius (Luciano Bartoli), and marry his mother, Queen Jocasta (Silvana Mangano). Though much of the dialogue is faithful to the play, Oedipus Rex is set in Pasolni's native country...

    Though Antigone was released six years before Oedipus Rex, it's another Sophocles tragedy that serves as a sequel of sorts, taking place after Oedipus has exiled himself. Directed by Yorgos Javellas, the film sees Antigone (Irene Papas) fight to see her deceased brother Polynices buried after King Creon (Manos Katrakis), another of her brothers, denies Polynices' burial rights for killing their eldest brother Eteocles. Antigone is one of the best Greek mythology movies because while it may be...

It is a satirical story from the Coen brothers that incorporates many elements from the iconic poem. The George Clooney-starring film follows Ulysses...

    The visuals of this film are undeniably engaging, with decent scope and enthusiasm. Yet, like the similar film300, it contains fairly graphic violence. However, the dark cinematography in Immortals can feel dull by comparison. The story itself bears little resemblance to other Greek mythology movies and instead simply plays in that sandbox. The acting is decent, but the dialogue is stiff. Ultimately, in prioritizing visuals that are so similar to another movie, it mainly asks fans to watch 30...

    Medea, an Italian movie again directed by Pier Paulo Pasolini, is one of the Greek mythology movies that interprets the famous Greek myth Jason and the Argonauts. The film is named after one of the story's essential characters, Medea, who is betrayed by Jason and eventually seeks revenge on him and his family. The movie was considered particularly notable by critics for the excessively bleak handling of its subject matter and refusal to shy away from the grimmer parts of the original myth. Fa...

    This film subverts expectations of the genre at every turn, essentially turning fantasy into a recurring joke. Herculespurports to explain how misinterpretations could result in wild speculation and subsequent legends of fantasy. Those who love that aspect of Greek mythology movies will be left disappointed. Instead, the story has a lighthearted, juvenile tone, perhaps befitting of its director, Brett Ratner. However, the adventure is buoyant and quick, and the titular hero is played well by...
