Summary/Abstract: A photo essay about the non-obvious presence of Greek and Roman mythological figures in the mundane Polish landscape. The author finds the traces of ancient gods, goddesses, heroes and monsters among tiny shops in remote villages, suburban motels and office buildings in the very center of Warsaw, thus showing the paradoxical heterogeneity of symbols present in our everyday lives.
