    Has anyone ever read any Greek mythology, or Roman, or Norse?

    Yeah! But it didn't catch my attention... well not as much as Hercules or Xena did.

    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.

    Who hasn't? Everybody does this a million times in school, right?

    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 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.
