Aries is the only one I can think of. I don't think I've ever come across any serious Greek mythology manga.

I think there might be some aspects in Crystal Dragon.

It's not Greek, but you might enjoy Dante's Divine Comedy. If you've read "The Divine Comedy," you'll probably like it since it tries its best to be authentic, in both look and feel. smile

ETA: Also, a quick search revealed Z Mazinger, Kamisama Damono, Asklepios, Pantheon High, and Thousand Years Romance. (Aries and Legend of Nereid have already been mentioned, I think?) <--Some of those mangas look more like what you're looking for than others, but you might want to take a look at all of them and see what strikes your interest.

Olimpos, though it kind of deconstructs it. Also, be prepared for some serious mood whiplash.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm interested in stories about greek gods and just thought if there was a manga about it. I will take a look at some of the suggestions mentioned above. If another manga comes to mind, please post it.

I don't think Legend of Nereid really fits what you're looking for. It mentions the gods, but isn't really about them - only in the sense that the gods protect certain societies. It's not based on any particular myth either. It's a fictional story that supposedly explains

the beginning of democracy within the society.

Moonlight Goddess Diana
Pantheon High

...Other than that, I can't find much. If you like reading books/novels, you can try reading Percy Jackson and the Olympians. That's the best series I can recommend to someone looking for something related to Greek mythology.

If we're just talking about general everyday books, Edith Hamilton's Mythology is what most high schoolers in the USA read to learn about Greek/Roman (and a touch of Norse) mythology.

There's one called Saint Seiya or Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas. There's two different versions.

Akuma no Hanayome Rome or Greek gods? I'm not quite sure. The main characters are Deimos, Venus and a human. The story sometimes blends stories about their past and some Japanese, Greek myths (talking about Apollo, etc)

Crystal Dragon is a great one but not sure if it's Greek

Second Aries. The first one that popped in my head when I see this biggrin
