Throughout ancient history, every great empire has adopted their own pantheon and mythology, consisting of various deities, heroes, monsters, and events. All of which are unique in their own right, but in spite of their differences, many seem to tell similar underlying stories.

The influence of these pantheons are paramount to our current understanding of how civilization, as we know it, came to be.
