There are many Greek Mythology allusions in everyday life. These allusions are in advertisements, literature, movies ect. The three allusions I found are: Cupid, Nemesis, and Echo. Eros, was the God of love, he was usually described as a boy with wings and an arrow. Cupid is used commonly nowadays on Valentines day. Nemesis is the Greek Goddess of justice and vengeance, she alludes to the word arch-nemesis, or the enemy of a character in novel, often described as the hero's worst enemy. Another allusion I found to Greek Mythology is the word echo, Echo is the nymph from the myth Narcissus, she was punished and was forced to only repeat what others said. This story alludes to the word echo: the repetition of a word.
