His labors:
Bring back a giant's herd of oxen, Retrieve golden apples from the garden of whatever it was (needed Atlas's help)

The garden of Hesperides, I didn't answer because I didn't know all of them

The MARVEL Thor is very different to the actual Norse god Thor, nevertheless the MARVEL Thor is still a great character

Well, I'll list most of the things Marvel got right:
1) He lives in Asgard.
2) He wields a hammer called Mjolnir.
3) He is the god of thunder.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head. (Sorry if that all sounded a bit rude or something. I've never been overly fond of superheroes, especially the ones based off of mythological beings.)
A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of woes and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight!

NARDOLE; You are completely out of your mind!
DOCTOR: How is that news to anyone?

"I am Yomin Carr, the harbinger of doom. I am the beginning of the end of your people!" -Yomin Carr

-Sometime later, the second mate was unexpectedly rescued by the subplot, which had been trailing a bit behind the boat (and the plot). The whole story moved along.

Zeus IS awesome but my favourite Greek god has got to be Poseidon or Hephaestus

Stargate (and the original Battlestar Galactica) uses mostly Egyptian mythology, but Stargate does mix in a few other things as well, including Merlin at one point.

Earth: Final Conflict also used the mythology of Merlin in one of the books (I'm not sure about the TV series since I didn'tsee most of it).

Jetthebinturong

Ooh Egyptian? Lets try that out

What is the legend of Osiris

What does Pharaoh mean?
