Plays connected with ancient Greece are Timon of Athens, Pericles, The Comedy of Errors, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Troilus and Cressida. The plot of Troilus and Cressida is taken from Homer's Iliad but its treatment is much different from Homer's. It has nothing to do with mythology and everything to do with realpolitik. Theseus and Hippolyta in Midsummer Night's Dream are legendary Greek heroes, but they are not treated that way in the play.

The only Greek god who appears in a Shakespeare play is Hymen the god of marriage who performs the marriages in As You Like It. The god Jupiter appears in Cymbeline but he is of course Roman and not Greek.
