Mythology: Legends & Heroes in Our Puzzles
Mythology crosswords bring together gods, heroes and monsters from different cultures, from Mount Olympus and Norse sagas to the Egyptian pantheon and Slavic folklore. The clues include the names, attributes and roles of various deities, the names of mythical creatures, and stories that became the basis for countless books, films and video games. This kind of puzzle suits school students studying Ancient Greek mythology in literature class, as well as adults who love fantasy fiction and want to understand where authors borrow their imagery from. Some questions are easy and rely on general knowledge, others test genuinely deep familiarity with a specific mythological system. Solving one works as an engaging trip through the legends of different peoples without having to read a dozen books first.
