So who here digs mythology?

It's pretty rad stuff, look at all the badass mythological creatures there are

What's your favorite myth?

I've always been partial to the story about Persephone and Hades, myself. Probably because we read it in school and we got to eat pomegranates. That was a good day.

Anyways, yeah, SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCE

    I had a book of norse mythology when I was a kid, and it had this picture of Thor, about to hit this huge giant right in the face.

    God, so good.

    I always enjoyed the story of the flight of Icarus. Mostly because Iron Maiden did a kickass song about it.

    Unlike his depiction in God of War, Ares was actually a big pussy.

    Mythology is cool because I write one myth for one class and I get to use it four times.

    Aphrodite got very angry because some homeless blind guy didn't find her attractive so she had cupid shoot him with an arrow. When that didn't work, she had Cupid shoot him again and again with arrows until the porcupine was born. Dam I'm slick.

    Greek and Egyptian mythology are so much fun for me.

    Psyche and Eros takes one of the top spots, but I will have to do some serious thinking if I have to come up with my favorite myth.

    The whole House of Atreus is pretty sweet though, from top to bottom. Gotta love a good tragedy.

    When I was younger I read all about mythology and thought it was pretty cool. Mostly Egyptian, Roman, Greek, and some Northern European.

    The story of Hephaestus is pretty good.

    Bacchus is a pretty interesting figure. There are actually some similarities to his story and that of Jesus'.

    Norse mythology is pretty twisted and full of larger than life figures.
