Greek Mythology- Books and Movies Your Kids Will Love

Greek Mythology has it all- heroes, villains, friendship, love, deception, snake hair, sea monsters, really cool shape-shifters, and Cyclops. The stories are captivating. The gods and goddesses lure readers, even the most resistant, into their adventures.

My children, thanks to a little strewing, have spent the last three weeks inviting Zeus, Apollo, Odysseus, Percy Jackson and all sorts of other characters into their imaginations. In the car, at bedtime, at lunch- we are devouring books, audiobooks, and movies.

Below is a list of our favorite ways to learn and experience Greek Mythology. If you’re looking for a read aloud, chapter book series, or a great addition to movie night, be sure to check these out.

  1. My kids love learning about the Greek Myths and we’ve listened to the WHOLE ENTIRE Percy Jackson series three times now. We just started in with Apollo and so far it’s a hit!
