A band of divine adventurers eager to head off on their own odyssey across the ancient world for glory and renown.
What if one of your party wants to play as a Hero of the age, touched by divine might? Perhaps another wants to be a demi-god, travelling down from Olympus itself to spend time among mortals.
How do you manage these incredibly powerful adventurers and the foes they will face? How will you ensure your adventure captures the flavour of Ancient Greece, matching the miniatures you put on the tabletop?
Whatever it is you need, we have gathered some brilliant resources to help you run an adventure worthy of a new Iliad.
We found a brilliant PDF from Arcana Games, Arkadia - A mythic Greek settings for D&D 5e

Following up from Arcana Games' adventurers guide they also have the "Fate of the Oracle" adventure for this Greek setting.
An original setting, inspired by the history and legends of ancient Greece. Arkadia is a game of heroic adventure in a world of monsters and myth.
Tied into their player's guide comes an adventure set in Ancient Greece. Created at the same standard as their player's guide, with encounters, story arcs and maps.
Available through their website, compatible with Roll20 and downloadable through DriveThroughRPG.
To go along with player characters and an adventure for them to conquer, you will need some monsters and NPCs to populate the world. Check out Mikemyler.com and his extensive blog covering all manner of deadly creatures and monstrous adversaries.
Dozens of monsters and NPCs from the length and breath of the Ancient Greek world. A great free resource, packed full of terrifying foes.
As well as these lesser well known resources we of course need to mention the official D&D sourcebook "Mythical Odessey of Theros". A crossover coursebook between Ancient Greece and Magic the Gathering it brings together well known facets of the Greek stories with brilliant fantasy storytelling and amazing creatures.
