First Thoughts

I am a bit late on posting, however, I've also had a lot of time to think about what we have discussed in class so far.  

Mythology has never really been taken too seriously.  Yes, there are allusions to its many stories and lessons, but lets be honest with ourselves- no one takes a Mythologies class to brush up on the accurate details of greek and roman history.  

One might even argue that studying myth can be fun.

We, and the rest of the scholars from the time these stories came about, were and are still intrigued with what they have to say, and why the ancient authors told them.

So on that note, lets have fun with this class.  Lets discover why these myths have remained so integral to todays literature, history, and culture. And perhaps, we can answer the question,

Where did it all begin?
