Greek Myth and English Language  Research and Presentation:  Dimitriou Panos  Moraitis John  Teacher: Kyriakidou E.

 Apart from Mythology’s influence in English and American Advertising, mythology's influence is evident in the English language too! It is hard to imagine reading or writing without drawing upon myth-oriented adjectives or idioms. The following is only a partial list of mythological references and some words they have inspired…  Atlas: A mythical giant who supported heavens on his shoulders. (The book of maps known as an atlas is named after a legendary African king, sometimes thought to be descended from the Atlas of Greek myth.)  Hercules: Also known as Heracles, the greatest hero of Greece. (A particularly great effort is said to be a Herculean effort.)  Labyrinth: A dangerous maze built for King Minos. Victims were sent into the Labyrinth for sacrifice and of course it was almost impossible to escape from the labyrinth. At the center was the monstrous Minotaur. (The English words labyrinth and labyrinthine may derive from certain double-headed axes, archaeological examples of which have been found on the Greek island of Crete, site of the kingdom of mythological King Minos and the Labyrinth.)  Midas: A king who had the power to change all he touched to gold. This blessing became a curse. (The Midas touch.)

 Pan: Shepherd god, son of Hermes, with legs and horns of a goat. (Pan was considered to be the cause of the sudden fear that sometimes comes for no reason, especially in lonely places. That's why it's called "panic". )  Procrustes: Man who offered his "one-size-fits-all" bed to passing travellers, adjusting his guests to the bed by stretching or chopping them as appropriate. (An article in The New York Times refers to art historians who try to force the famous painter Pablo Picasso into "the Procrustean bed of theories.")  Sisyphus: Sinner condemned to roll a rock uphill for eternity. (A Sisyphean task.)  Tantalus: A king allowed to partake of the nectar of the gods. He abused this privilege by stealing the divine beverage to share with his human friends. For this sin he was condemned to the Underworld, where he stood in fresh water that receded whenever he tried to drink and under a tree filled with ripe fruit always just beyond reach. (tantalize)  Titans: An ancient race of giants who were overcome by Zeus in a struggle that shook the world. (titanic)
