It was for a school thing. It was pretty good though, I remember. I especially like the one about horses...His name started with a P, I think? God of the Sea...aw well, duno. But its a good read if your into that kinda thing.  Report to moderator   Logged HerMajesty the Beatle queen the Beatle queen * Offline Gender: Posts: 11517 & Re:Mythology: Timeless tales of Gods and Heros « Reply #3 on: July 11, 2003, 10:20:15 pm » I was supposed to read this for freshman English last year, but it turned out it wasn't really requiered. (Of course, I found this out halfway through the book... ) Anyway, it's okay, a little slow at times. But if you're into Greek culture, or old religions, it's really interesting. Aphrodite, Hercules, Persephone, etc..  Report to moderator   Logged Chrysanthemus just don\'t wake me up * Offline Gender: Posts: 2745 jukebox Re:Mythology: Timeless tales of Gods and Heros « Reply #4 on: September 02, 2003, 11:39:36 am » Quote from: Fairy Chanterella on July 06, 2003, 03:55:39 pm    I haven't.

That book seems to be interesting, here in my country the main part of the books we have to read are very boring.

Part of upbringing people! If you don't know about mythology: Shame on you! Drag your lazy ass to the library or bookstore and start reading! Don't just walk, run! Professor tolkien would be sooo mad if he knew this!! If you have any appreciation for LotR you should really read up on your mythology. After all, that what tolkien intended to write: mordern mythology. Lots of aspects in tolkiens work are derived from or inspired by Norse, Celtic, Saxon, German, Greek and Oriental myths. And don't forget Arthurian and Carolingian legends. Even the Alchemist's Ring and Wagners 'Ring of the Nibelung' aren't safe from J.R.R.

Unfortunately there's no actual job i can practice if i'm good at all these, the best thing i can achieve is to get a place as a university lecturer....but that's just not me Report to moderator   Logged e_unicorn19 Guest Re:Mythology: Timeless tales of Gods and Heros « Reply #14 on: September 04, 2003, 11:15:03 am » (wow, i havent realised i've written so much! sorry!)
