* ''[[Percy Jackson & the Olympians|Percy Jackson and The Olympians]]'' to ancient [[Greek Mythology]].
** ''[[The Kane Chronicles]]'' to [[Egyptian Mythology]]
** Also, the Roman gods exist as well, just as alter-egos to the Greek ones. There's evidence that the two series exist in the same universe, and that ''all'' pantheons exist (ignoring each other for the most part) creating a kind of [[Fantasy Kitchen Sink]].
