Has anyone ever read any Greek mythology, or Roman, or Norse?
Yeah a little bit, don't remember much of it though.
Yeah! But it didn't catch my attention... well not as much as Hercules or Xena did.
:D
Yep, required for school, plus I find it usually interesting.
Yeah... Norse and Greek is pretty cool once you get into it, but it has been awhile since I have read any of it though. I should read it again, but I am too lazy.
The Odyssey was great. Since I'm not a big reader, I never bothered to read any more of it. Fascinating stuff, though.
Yeah, i did Latin at school so learning about the various greek/roman mythologies was compulsory; since then ive always liked reading about it cos its pretty interesting.
man, i wish it was compulsary in my school, i would ACE that class(pun intended)
Yup. :eek:Quote:

Anyways, I really enjoyed Homer's "The Illiad" when I read it. It beats out his "Odyssey" any day.
The Odyssey was awesome. Illiad was ok.
I love Greek mythology. I have read a couple books about it. Narcissist is one of my favorite stories.
Homer and Virgil are easily two of the greatest writers/poets that walked the Earth and it says quite a lot about both that their work has survived throughout the ages and that we, nearly 2000 and 3000 years later still found their work relevant, riveting, and awe-inspiring.
Also the work of Aeschylus and Sophocles are very good.
Take care all.
I know a great deal on Greek mythology, and by proxy, a fair bit of Roman mythology.....and I know a fair bit of Norse mythology...including some of the obscure gods....
I also no a little bit of Hindu mythology too...
I conducted a serious study on mythology in general where I would read any book I could find from 5-8th grade. Greek, Roman, Germanic, Norse, Egyptian, American Indian, ect. After that it was more of something to do when I was bored.
I've done a pretty good study of it. ^_^ Greek mythology, that is.
