Line 30:
Characters from this period are universally recognizable to viewers thanks to a dress code heavy in drape-and-cinch unpatterned linens, plus, they've all made the uncanny decision to speak with a [[British Accent]].
For further details, see the [[Classical Mythology/Characters|character sheet]].

{{tropenamer}}
Greek Mythology has been very influential in literature, art, and many other things so it's named a lot of Tropes. [[Trope Namers/Oral Tradition/Classical Mythology|See the list here.]]
* [[Achilles' Heel]]
* [[Achilles in His Tent]]
Line 142 ⟶ 143:
* [[Cardboard Prison]]: Arguably, Hades.
* [[Chained to a Rock]]: Andromeda and Hesione.
* [[Chaos Entity]]:
** Chaos is the first thing that existed, and the Titans such as Gaia, Tartarus, and Eros were born from it.
** Eris is the Greek goddess of discord and strife but wasn't known to have a temple in ancient Greece; thus, often, she acts more like a personification. She is famous for initiating the Trojan War using the Apple of Discord inscribed with the phrase “To the Fairest One” for the goddesses to argue over. Paris, the prince of Troy, was chosen by Zeus to choose Helen, the wife of Menelaus of Sparta, and doomed his city, which led to its destruction.
* [[Clingy Jealous Girl]]: Hera is a Jealous Wife, but rightfully so, because her job as goddess of family and marriage runs in direct opposition to her husband's ''very'' promiscuous ways. She even torments the poor girls Zeus rapes.
** Persephone turned the nymph Minthe into the mint plant as revenge for trying to sleep with her husband.
