Greek mythology explained everyday things (like the sun, the seasons, the stars) to the Greeks, and today they still have an influence. For example, some people say that the movie Finding Nemo is like an Odyssey of some sort. The words apollonian and dionysian came from Apollo and Dionysus. Odyssey came from Odysseus. Herculean came from Heracles (Hercules). Many of the Greek gods' Roman names became the names of the planets. The names Minerva and Diana are common girls' names. The word June, for the month of June, came from Juno. The word cereal came from Ceres. The word volcanoo came from Vulcan.
