New to OSR?
Here are three widely tested systems which offer free PDF rulebooks.
Basic Fantasy Created to be compatible with 3/3.5e, this is fully fleshed out OSE goodness written to be more approachable. Uses ascending armor class. Print options are sold at near cost and are very very inexpensive.
Old School Essentials Basic OSE is the most popular reproduction of the original B/X set. Uses descending armor class. With several different iterations at several different prices, this PDF is free and covers the basics. Enough to get a game going.
White Box : Fantastic Medieval Adventure Game A spiritual successor to Swords & Sorcery White Box. This is the complete OSR experience. Uses descending armor class, but contains alternate status for ascending. Like Basic Fantasy, the print version is under five bucks on amazon.

Isn't Mazes & Minotaurs the first ttrpg ever and therefore even older than OD&D?

"The whole story about Mazes & Minotaurs being the first RPG is a fictional conceit "
Hahahaha lol. I don't fall often for that kind of thing, but they really got me. Thanks for the heads up.
I used to play Scion which used lots of Greek mythology as well. It is set in modern day though. Pretty cool game, and it's all D6 based, which is an interesting change. Worth checking out if you're into that kind of thing.
I thought it was D10-based? Or was that just 1st edition?
Oh no you're completely right. It was d10. I was mixing it up with a different tabletop I played around the same time.
