Art and Mythology

I'm a graphic design major and one of the required classes that we have to take is Art History.  Throughout the class we have been going over many pieces that relate to mythology.  Many of these are centered around religion during the Renaissance period and also focus on Adam and Eve. 
The above picture is called the Fall of Man by Albrecht Durer in 1504. 
Titian, The Meeting of Bacchus
and Ariadne in 1522

These are just a couple of examples of the pieces that are directly telling stories of mythology.  I've realized that it's hard to go throughout your day without coming across something that relates to mythology.
