How ancient myths inspire today’s game designers.

Some of the coolest games I’ve played lately are based on ancient myths. The stories and characters are always so unique compared to regular action or fantasy games. Do you think more designers should dig into old legends for inspiration, or do you prefer when they make something totally new?

I never really thought about where game ideas come from, but now that you mention it, some of my favorites have roots in folklore. It’s cool when games teach you something, too.
