One example I found of Greek mythology in the modern world is a popular brand of women's razors. Venus razors are advertised frequently and are named after Venus the Greek god of love.
A second example of Greek mythology is nike. Nike was a Greek god who could run very fast, and today nike is a popular athletic shoe brand.
An example I found was in Mamma Mia which alludes to the Greek goddess Aphrodite. The movie takes place on an island which was said to be the place of Aphrodite's spa and whoever drinks the water will find true love and happiness and that is what happens in the movie to the characters.
ReplyDeleteAnother allusion is Trident gum which is an allusion to Poseidan's three pronged spear that was used to fight in battles. Trident literally means three-teeth and Trident gum is for your teeth and helps fight against cavities.
