Do you like to read Greek Myths or Mythology?  

Hi

finally someone like me who is fascinated with Greek Mythology. :) As far as i can remember,stories like these intrigued me to the point that i do wish that some of them exist here.

I love stories of a fair maiden enchanting a god to the point that he needs to come down from Olympus and claim him for himself.What i do regret is how the story ends and often it ends with the maiden being cursed by either the god she rejected or the goddess who grew envious of her beauty.(just like medusa)

The story that really held my interest is of Psyche and Cupid. I read it when i when i was still in elementary and it stuck to me ever since.For me this story teaches us that love requires trust and honesty from both sides for it to work.

Way back in High School days, we study History and part of it is the history of Greeks and the Romans. Hence, it includes mythology. My interest on the subject extends to my interest with the kind of movie I watch. At those times, I love the mythology per se and I would always choose Aphrodite/Venus every time we play a role. I would also love watching Hercules and Xena. Plus remembering the battle between Greeks and Spartans, the love story of Helen and Troy, and how can I forget the Trojan horse.

Oh! I love their wardrobe really.

Hi towongfoo
LOL i am very weak in my memory and very weak in History. But during my schooling days, I read the stories of Alexander the great, Julius Caesar, William Shakespear tales and the stories in it contains all the above said stuff and the romance will be explained in a sensitive way. I do not know whether Alexander, Juliun Caesar and Shakespear all belong to Greek civilization or some other era.

it is myth and if it were real then in that case i would like to know where is phoenix and dragons aer now. i 'll not belive in them without seeing.

hi! yes, I like reading Greek Myths, because they are really interesting. When I was still at high-school we have learned many of them and i was really keened on them!

i am not fond with mythology stories that much, but watched the movie percy jackson, the lightning thief. are you familiar with that, a story about a boy who discovered that he was the son of poseidon. it was a very entertaining movie.

I do remember back in high school where we studied all about Greek mythology. It was fun then imagining what it was really like. But now, I am not anymore fascinated about it. Perhaps the younger generation will like it better.

I love to read Greek and Roman Mythology. I used to read a lot of those books when I was in school. Now a days, I don't have much time for to read. I am over loaded with my work and feels to take rest during weekends. I feel that it is better to read Greek and Roman mythology rather than reading novels. I also like crime or detective novels.

I like your idea of what life was back then, but I always looked at it this way. After reading the Greek/Roman myths I would wonder what happened to them? If they really existed, what would they think of us now? Are they angry or sad with us for forgetting them? If we still worshipped them today, how would we or they adapt to the new technology that we use? Would there be a new god for the way that we listen to music? Would there be a new god for computers or the internet? Would Atlas become the god of gyms? Just a thought...lol

Yes...Greek mythology is my favorite. I love reading those myths and I am
so fascinated with their lives that it's almost larger than life. I happen to read
that book about Greek mythology and I don't want to stop reading it. Their life is
really beautiful and wonderful.
