Classical Mythology RPG?

[Evenglare]

Is there any such RPG that deals with greek/roman gods? I mean, all the fantasy stuff generally comes from nordic myths, due to lord of the rings and roleplaying games stemming off of that, which is fine. But now I am looking for some sort of greek rpg, considering the HUGE ammount of fantasy is in those myths im surprized I havnt come across one.

There's OGL Ancients from Mongoose, which is very good despite being a Mongoose product. d20 based, but quite a bit different than D&D 3e

There's Mazes and Minotaurs, an OSR inspired fantasy RPG that imagines a "what-if" Greek Mythology and epic films of the 1960s were the background for D&D rather than LOTR. link

There's also XCrawl, a D&D 3rd edition setting set in pseudo-modern America that uses the Roman pantheon. link

-D20 Trojan War, Eternal Rome (Green Ronin) ****

-Fvlminata (alternate history) ***

-GURPS Greece, Imperial Rome ****

-Rome: Life and Death in the Republic (Basic RolePlaying) ***

-Agon, Arete

-Cthulhu Invictus (horror in Rome)

-Hellas: Worlds of Sun and Stone (Greek-flavored space opera)

-Mythic Greece: Age of Heroes (RoleMaster/Hero)

-Roma Imperius (alternate history)

There have also been articles in Dragon and other magazines over the years. Vale....

There's also the Arcanis campaign setting by Paradigm Concepts. It used to be a d20 living campaign with lots of nice detailed supplements. Now there is the new Arcanis RPG.

It was basically a d&d setting based on the roman era with lots of fantasy added to taste. The d20 stuff is readily available on eBay or NK.

To a limited degree, Ars Magica deals with them. In Ars Magica they're simply considered powerful Faerie beings.

The source book 'The Sundered Eagle' about Mythical Greece might be of some interest, although it focuses on medieval Greece and particularly Constantinople.

Try checking out Sean K Reynolds' 3.5 d20 sourcebook The New Argonauts. It's very well-done, and it's free!

Which? Greek, or Roman? There was actually quite a lot of differences between them, despite the fact that the Romans applied the names of their gods to the Greek myths (for what it's worth, the did the same to the Celtic gods, the germanic gods, the Persian gods, etc. too--although no doubt they saw the Greeks as much more kindred-type spirits than any of those groups.)

I mean, all the fantasy stuff generally comes from nordic myths, due to lord of the rings and roleplaying games stemming off of that, which is fine.

I don't quite know what you mean. From the very beginning, Greek mythological sources were pretty heavily represented in D&D; certainly as much so as Nordic sources. You could very easily run a Greek mythology based campaign using just stuff in the basic monster manuals. And for that matter, the war between the gods and primordials in the 4e implied setting is pretty much straight out of Greek mythology with the serial numbers filed off.

But now I am looking for some sort of greek rpg, considering the HUGE ammount of fantasy is in those myths im surprized I havnt come across one.

I don't know of any entire RPG that's dedicated to Greek mythology, although it wouldn't surprise me to find out that there is one. For that matter, I don't know of one that does that for nordic mythology, although I seem to recall hearing of a Swedish language RPG that was heavily Nordic mythology focused (which shouldn't exactly be surprising.)
