If you have a kid who is obsessed with Percy Jackson, or if you just love the epic stories of ancient heroes yourself, you are in the right place. I’ve gathered a massive collection of 20+ Greek mythology coloring pages that bring these ancient legends to life.
This isn’t just a few pictures of guys in togas. I wanted to capture the whole world of ancient Greece coloring pages, from the lightning bolts of Olympus to the monsters hiding in labyrinths.
You’ll find a mix for everyone here. I included simple outlines for kids who are just learning the names of the gods, and incredibly detailed scenes for adults who want to get lost in the art. Whether you are a history buff or just love a good story, these pages are ready for your colors.

Mythical Creatures to Color
Let’s be real, the monsters are the best part of Greek mythology. I made sure to include all the famous beasts. You’ll find the Pegasus (the winged horse everyone loves) and the terrifying Minotaur who guards the maze.
If you like monster battles, check out the Hydra with its many heads or the Chimera, which is basically a lion, goat, and snake mashed together. (If you like these, you should definitely check out our dragon coloring sheets collection). There’s also Cerberus, the three-headed dog who guards the underworld. These are perfect for adding some fantasy coloring vibes to your collection.
Heroes & Legends
It wouldn’t be Greek mythology without the heroes. I’ve included action shots of Hercules fighting lions and completing his labors. You can also color Achilles in his armor from the Trojan War or Odysseus on his long ship journey home.
These pages are great because they actually tell a story. You can talk about the myths while you color, which makes the whole activity way more interesting than just coloring random shapes.
Ancient Greek World
I wanted to give you a sense of the place, not just the people. You will find pages featuring the majestic Mount Olympus in the clouds and detailed Greek temples with those famous columns.
I also added designs of ancient Greek vases (amphoras) which have really cool geometric patterns to color, plus Greek warships sailing the Aegean sea. It’s a great way to explore the history of Greek mythology printables without opening a textbook.
Gods & Goddesses Collection
Obviously, the Olympians are the stars of the show. I have a huge variety here, but if you are looking for specific deities, you should explore our dedicated collections. We have a full hub for Greek god coloring pages and another for Greek goddess coloring pages.
You can find the King of Gods himself in our Zeus coloring pages, or dive underwater with our Poseidon coloring pages. And for those who like the scarier side of myths, definitely check out the Medusa coloring pages (just don’t look her in the eyes!).
Difficulty Levels
I organized these so nobody gets frustrated. The Easy pages have thick lines and simple character designs, perfect for younger kids just getting into the myths.
The Medium level adds some background elements, like temples or landscapes. Then I have the Hard pages. These feature intricate armor details, complex monster scales, and realistic shading. They are designed for older kids or adults who want a challenge.
How to Download
Getting these is super simple. Just click on the image of the myth you want to color. It will open the high-quality PDF directly in your browser.
From there, you can hit print immediately or save it to your device for later. No sign-ups or payments needed. Just free, epic coloring pages ready to go.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Greek mythology?
Greek mythology is the set of stories the ancient Greeks told to explain how the world worked. They didn’t have science yet, so they used stories about gods, heroes, and monsters to explain things like thunder, the seasons, and the ocean. It’s full of drama, adventure, and magic.
Who are the main Greek gods and goddesses?
The main group is called the Olympians because they lived on Mount Olympus. The big ones include Zeus (King of the Gods), Hera (Queen), Poseidon (Sea), Hades (Underworld), Athena (Wisdom), Apollo (Sun/Music), and Aphrodite (Love). You’ll find all of them in this collection.
What mythical creatures are in Greek mythology?
There are so many cool ones! Besides the gods, the myths are full of creatures like the Pegasus (winged horse), Centaur (half-man, half-horse), Satyr (half-man, half-goat), Minotaur (bull-man), and Griffin (lion-eagle hybrid). They make for some of the most fun coloring pages.
Are these coloring pages suitable for adults?
Absolutely. Greek art is naturally very detailed, so many of these pages are perfect for adults. I included designs with intricate armor patterns, complex snake hair on Medusa, and detailed architectural backgrounds that will keep you busy for a long time.
Can I use these for educational purposes?
Yes, please do! Teachers and homeschooling parents use these all the time. They are great for history lessons on Ancient Greece or literature units on The Odyssey. It helps kids visualize the characters and remember the stories better.
