The Best Thing About Your Favorite Mythology

[thawoods]

i am mostly only familiar with Greek and Roman mythology (which are, of course, related) and, to a lesser extent, with the Celtic mythology.

what i love about the Greek myths is that they are pretty much an infinite source of inspiration for the arts/creativity. they were meant to be interpreted subjectively. this is why there are so many different variations on the same themes and within the same stories/context.

also because they still have the capacity to be understood in the 21st century context.
