greek/myth

a list of films based on ancient greek plays, mythology and history.
genres range from drama, fantasy, historical epic, action and modern adaptations/or inspired bys.
i haven't seen most of these, but i've collected them here as a starting point, for me and anyone interested in this part of history.
once i've seen more i may split this up into more specific categories.
any suggestions would be welcome!

these are some lists i've been working off of, and may go back to.
