Ancient Mythology Referenced in Turtledove's Work

rdfs:comment

This is a catch-all list of reference to ancient mythological figures in the works of Harry Turtledove. As the mythology of Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire have saturated Western literary thought, these are the two most common sources of such references in Turtledove's work. The Roman pantheon was either heavily based on the Greek version, or perhaps sprung from a common source; historians are a bit unclear on this matter. The Romans also syncretized gods from other cultures such as Egypt and Persia into their mythology.

This is a catch-all list of reference to ancient mythological figures in the works of Harry Turtledove. As the mythology of Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire have saturated Western literary thought, these are the two most common sources of such references in Turtledove's work. The Roman pantheon was either heavily based on the Greek version, or perhaps sprung from a common source; historians are a bit unclear on this matter. The Romans also syncretized gods from other cultures such as Egypt and Persia into their mythology. Turtledove's characters also refer to gods from other pantheons on occasion. In some of Turtledove's fantasy works, the gods of Greece, Rome, and other cultures appear directly as real people, or play background roles that are somehow relevant to the plot or the atmosphere of a given work. These deities have their own articles listing these stories. Other references to the gods are not significant enough for articles, but give mildly interesting insight into a certain character or plot element, and are listed below. This list is a work in progress, and therefore by no means complete. Anyone with more information is welcome to share it.
