MythQuest is a Canadian television series that originally aired on PBS in 2001. It stars Meredith Henderson and Christopher Jacot as Cleo and Alex Bellows, two teens whose father Matt disappears into the Cyber Museum, a computer program that, as they discover, allows them to travel into myths by touching an artifact on the screen.

They become characters in the myths, and (unlike in most programs and movies) strive to keep the myth to its normal progression; a difficult task when confronted by Gorgos, a trickster God who appears in each myth to try to change it. Alex's initial journey into the Cyber Museum is an accident, but soon they both begin searching for their father within the myths. Later, Cleo develops a tracking program to make it easier for them to decide which artifacts to touch.

The series is not currently available on DVD or video. However, there have been novels adapted from the first two episodes, written by children's authors Dan Danko and Tom Mason.
