Ancient gods navigate modern fame, battling their pasts while redefining heroism in a world craving new legends.
The ancient gods of Egyptian, Greek and Roman myths still exist, but today, they have superpowers, human foibles and secret identities. They come from comic books and graphic novels, and have taken over pop culture on the stage, screen, video games, and animation. From Superman® and Spider-Man®, to The Avengers® and The Hulk® and beyond, who are these heroes? And, how have they evolved from folklore and myth, across all cultures and religions? Learn from Smithsonian and industry experts including Stan Lee and Michael and David Uslan. The Smithsonian's National Museum of American History is excited to go behind the scenes into their collection and see why superheroes are a dominant cultural force in today's world.
