Many ancient myths, such as those from Homer and Ovid, have profoundly influenced modern literature and art. Themes of heroism, tragedy, love, and divine intervention from these myths continue to resonate in contemporary storytelling. The archetypes found in these tales, like the tragic hero or the wise mentor, serve as foundational elements in literature. Moreover, visual arts have drawn inspiration from mythological themes, shaping iconic paintings, sculptures, and other works that explore human experience through the lens of myth.
