project overview

Myth on Trial is a creative project that puts myths and legendary figures on the stand. Each trial examines their actions, arguments, and motivations through a mock trial format, blending history, mythology, and law in a fun and educational way

I started this project because I love mythology, history, and mock trial. I wanted a way to explore ancient stories critically while also having fun debating and imagining what a courtroom for gods/goddesses and heroes might look like.

Whether you’re a fan of Greek gods, historical figures, or just love a good courtroom drama, this project is for you. Step into the courtroom and see who really deserves justice!

How does it work?

Each trial includes charges, arguments from both sides, witnesses, and a final verdict—so you can see myths from multiple perspectives

  • Charges, prosecution, and defense arguments

  • Witnesses (mythological or historical)

  • Verdicts based on evidence and reasoning

Visitors can submit their own trials using our submission form. All trials are reviewed before posting to ensure a safe and respectful environment
