Favorite Mythologies

[Hungryfreak]

Which mythology is your favorite?

Mine is norse. There's just a lot to love about it. The gods are great characters not without their faults, the lands are diverse and fantastic(despite only being depicted by word), the creatures are amazing despite being simple concepts, etc... Besides, how can you hate a mythology where the first chapter of its book contains a beer hall and a place made out of serpent spines? Haha.

I wasn't sure if I could pick two so I chose Greek. Although I also really enjoy the Norse Mythologies.

[Elegy]

definitely greek for me.

I want my own Mjolnir.

I like the Greek. We worked on those for a while in school and they were pretty cool. I haven't read any others ('sides Hercules, but it was only with Roman god's names. Also The Golden Touch, which believe is Mycenaean.)

Norse. Can't beat stories where male gods disguise themselves as women, only to give themselves away by peeing standing up against a tree :D

To be honest, I find all mythology fascinating, though.

On topic:

I am not much for mythologies.

I voted "Other", because I like reading them all.

I mean, every mythology has a creation story, and a lot of them are similar. It is amazing how as humans, we have fought in the name of gods for centuries, all the while having common bonds.

I'm just glad these stories have survived, because they are great to read when you want to escape to a fantasy world that is sometimes more violent then our own.

I studied greek/roman, and japanese mythology in school... And in the end I found I like Greek mythology more; the gods are oddly very human, with all their vices and character imperfections. I like the drama they get into and how their stories are supposed to explain stuff in the world.

Greek, then Norse.

[MissTeya]

Being Greek, I am particularly partial to my own ancient history. A recent reading of The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul by Douglas Adams has really piqued my interest in Norse mythology as well.

Gah, I forgot to add Central/South American mythologies, like Mayan and Aztec. Guess that stuff goes under 'other', then.

^^ mayan

and Hawaiian, duh!

[DarkSide247]

I <3 the Theseus myth, so Greek mythology.

[IslandBoy91]

I like Greek Mythology, just because you could probably make a pretty good sit-com about the gods hanging out on Mt. Olympus...Getting into all sorts of arguments and interfering with the lives of regular people.
I just like Ancient Greek history in general, beats the crap out of the middle ages...lol

[OakTea]

Abrahamic mythology.

Wait, that's not nice... :p

I prefer Greek and Nordic mythologies, though I don't know too much about them. I'd like to learn more. To wikipedia! Tomorrow.
