Mythology is Cool
Lately I've been reading up on Greek Mythology for my current writing project I've been working on when I'm not doing videos. Medusa, Poseidon, the Underworld, etc. Been learning a lot of interesting stuff. Don't know why it took me so long to start reading into these things.
Talk about your favorite Mythologies.
Sumerian. The Epic of Gilgamesh is actually one of my favorite stories. I also enjoy, Greek, Norse, Shinto, Hindu, and the folklore of the British Isles and Australia. Playing lots of MegaTen tends to get you involved in ready up on all of these.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
I might be biased but norse mythology is pretty cool
everything is wrapped in gray
i'm focusing on your image

Whichever one Mad Max 4 was based on
Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
Have a nice day!!
I love mythologyIf there were degrees in mythology that actually landed me a job I would totally be studying it, astronomy too.
Norse mythology is my favourite but biblical ones are cool too, mainly in the book of revelation with the skeletal horsemen, the dragon, the winged leopard with many heads...etc although many of the creatures are supposed to represent current and previous world powers, it's pretty interesting.

I swear the trumpeter angel looks like the summon from persona/SmT!
You actually got it. Its Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne. Most of the designs for the monsters in Persona 3 and 4 were lifted from this game. All of the creatures from Revelations and the Four Horsemen are optional battles in the game.This looks crazy familiar....and awesome. What's it called?Do I have a series for you.I love mythology

My school leaving exam had everyone prepare an oral presentation. Mine was about the various reinterpretations of classic myths. Needless to say, I am something of a classical mythology nerd.
I also Hindu stuff, anything from the Abrahamic religions, and Gnosticism, if that counts.
Yeah, SMT really only added fuel to the fire for me.

Apart from the Judeo-Christian mythologies, Classical (Ancient Greek and Roman) mythology is what I'm most familiar with. If you're interested, Ovid's Metamorphoses is a good introduction to a wide variety of classical myths. I'd recommend reading it in prose form, at least the first time around.
As far as other mythologies are concerned, I have a passing knowledge of Norse mythology, and in regard to Hindu mythology I've read most of an English translation of the Ramayana, (still haven't read the last volume, so don't tell me how it ends!).
I do love Classical mythology. It has a focus on transformation which I've always found fascinating.

I've always been partial to greek/roman myself. Norse is fun too.

It's really the best series to learn this stuff. The main series often uses mythical stories as a source of inspiration for sidequests. Everything is super accurate and well researched.
