What game do I need to get my hands on to place an epic campaign in Ancient Greece and to interact with Greek Mythology?

Something inspired by the likes of Clash of the Titans, The Iliad, The Odyssey, 300, Troy, The Trials of Hercules, etc.

I have OGL Ancients. Which is massively slanted toward Greek Mythology. The inclusion of Egyptian Mythology was more of an afterthought. But this does what you want it to.

Is that for 3.5?

There's apparently an OSR D&D clone which is Greek Mythology-based...

Mazes and Minotaurs is pretty cool if you want to go in that direction.  If you like Barbarians of Lemurian, there's Heroes of Hellas.  It would do what you want perfectly.  It uses the same basic system but mods it for mythological Greece.  It adds in renown for the heroes to gauge how well known they are.

Easy answer. Mythras.
You don't need it but there's even Mythic Greece coming down the pipeline if your not in a rush.
Talk gaming or talk to someone else.
