Explanation:

The quotation introduces the broad, significant influence of Greek Olympians on everyday culture, matching the topic sentence (sentence 1) that claims Greek mythology has long-reaching modern influence. Placing it before sentence 1 would set up and support the main claim of the paragraph, while placing it after would interrupt the flow of examples that follow the topic sentence.
