Today I started reading Aeschylus' 'The Oresteia', which if you don't know, is one of the ancient Greek plays from Aeschylus. I've been reading this, along with Euripides' 'The Bacchae', 'Medea', Sophocles' Three Theban Plays and Homer's 'Iliad' and 'The Odyssey'. As soon as I start reading them, thinking about Odysseus, Agamemnon, Zeus, Hades etc, I get a huge urge to play some games based on Greek mythology. I've always loved Greek mythology, but I don't know where to look or what to find when it comes to games based on it.
The games I've played so far:
- Age of Mythology
- God of War III (Haven't played any others, but I know I would love them)
- Hercules (PS1)
- Caesar III (Doesn't quite count but almost satisfies the urge)
I've also heard of Zeus: Master of Olympus, but that just seems like a re-skinning of Caesar III, but correct me if I'm wrong.
So all I ask is some recommendations on some games (preferably PC) that are based on or have heavy Greek influences.
