    Unico is a manga series by famous author Osamu Tezuka. He was responsible for a series of landmark anime and manga such as Astro Boy and Dororo, and Unico is on par with those classics. It follows a young unicorn named Unico as he explores ancient Greece. Although he tries to continue his life, he ends up following the whims of the Greek gods.

This Greek mythology anime was originally chosen for a TV series, but unfortunately it was not produced. Instead, it has been adapted into three movie series. These films incorporate some additional mythology, such as Celtic, into the story. Still, it's an underrated great classic.
