Many great video games today are based on Greek Mythology and Anglo-Saxons. These types of cultures are interesting to me, and other people as well. Otherwise, kids these days wouldn't play the video games that are based upon these myths and legends. I am in the Latin II class here at Riverside High School, and I have learned some things about Greek Mythology and how the Romans used to live and communicate with one another. It always seems as if in every one of these myths, there is someone having to defeat a monster/enemy, just like in today's world. When you think about it, everyday people face these types of conflicts. There is usually a pro and a con to everything, and someone is having to battle with another person. I don't know much about Greek Mythology and the Anglo-Saxons, but what I do know seems quite interesting to me. I have also played some video games that are related to the Anglo-Saxons and Roman cultures. Such video games include God of War, Battle of Olympus, and Kid Icarus, which is an old Nintendo game. Many of these games involve fighting, which I think is fun! But, in these video games, and in Greek Mythology, the heroes always have some type of weird weakness, unlike in the real world. These gods and goddesses are magical, and mythical, hence the term "mythology". I think it's just something I have to focus on a little more, so I can better understand the way these myths and legends are told.
