The gods are trying to make a comeback. Two movies based on Greek mythology are set for release in 2010; one a remake of a B-movie classic (Clash of the Titans, coming out April 2), the other an adaptation of a series of popular kids’ books (Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, getting released on February 12). As such, now seemed like a prime juncture to revisit the cinematic history of Zeus, Medusa and the rest of the gang.
