Mythology in Popular Culture

Mythology in popular culture refers to the way ancient stories, gods, and legends are incorporated into modern entertainment—such as movies, books, video games, and TV shows. These mythological themes add depth, symbolism, and familiarity, making stories more engaging. They often reimagine gods, heroes, and mythical creatures, blending tradition with contemporary storytelling. This integration helps keep old myths alive, shaping cultural identity and providing a shared language of symbols and archetypes that resonate through various forms of entertainment today.
