Hey everybody, just a quick question
I am writing my story around greek mythology but I dont know many authors that have used it before. Is there some kind of taboo when writing stories. How would it go under, fantasy, fiction?

One other author who I know uses Greek mythology at present, to some extent, on Greek mythology: Dan Simmons's Ilium , and the sequel, Olympos .
