If the present generation thinks that it has a rich imagination, the ones who thought of penning down the intricate and awe-inspiring myths about Greek gods, demigods, and heroes, way surpassed us by leaps and bounds.
As we recreate these ancient lore into movies, the purpose behind it all is to keep these legends alive in the hearts and minds of the viewers.
