The pantheon of Olympus, in one grid
Greek myth is the source of so many of our favourite stories, and this puzzle gathers its biggest names. You'll be finding the Olympians — ZEUS, HERA, POSEIDON and ATHENA — the heroes and monsters like HERCULES and the MEDUSA, and the powers of the old world, from the TITAN CRONUS to the winged PEGASUS.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the pantheon, no two Greek mythology word searches are the same. One round a backwards APOLLO hides in a corner; the next a diagonal PERSEPHONE descends across the grid.
A classroom favourite for ancient Greece
The Greek gods are a staple of primary history and a brilliant way into ancient Greece. This puzzle pairs perfectly with a topic on Greek myths, the Olympians, or heroes like Heracles and Perseus.
A few names run long — HEPHAESTUS and PERSEPHONE among them — so they're best for Medium and Hard, while the shorter gods keep Easy mode playable for younger mythology fans.
How to play
Drag across a word, or click its first and last letter — both work. Each name you find locks in with its own highlight and ticks off the list, so you always know who's left to find.
