What type of mythology do you most prefer?

I love greek mythology. The gods where not just immortal beings they represented all the different aspects of their lifes. I also think they created the best stories. Hercules anyone!

It's Zeus for me! In fact, one of my dogs has the same name, and he's sort of living up to it too. LOL.

Greek just barely inches out Norse mythology in my opinion.

I'd have to say Greek, followed by a few Anglo-Saxon myths.

Greek and Egyptian mythology are fascinating. I'm also a fan of the Norse myths even though they're a little harder to follow and confusing at times.

I prefer the one you put in italics Or does that simply mean the one I voted for? -.-

Greek Mythology is what I grew up reading about, the stuff about gods, the stuff in Xena [s/p?] and Hercules! Those shows were fun to watch, definitely. Oh, and beastmaster, all those kinds of fictional/sci-fi/mythology shows. Sadly, many of them are not around or are in primetime hours where nobody is awake to see them

I am especially interested in Jewish and Mesopotamian mythology.

I would have to say Norse; it was the first I was introduced to, and has always had the power to captivate my imagination. I find its imagery very strong, and care more about the gods and godesses as characters, in general. I used to like Greek mythology almost as much, but reading Robert Graves's collection and finding the religious history behind the myths was a little depressing. I enjoy reading myths more as great stories with universal truths.

I grew up studying greek, then moved to norse. By high school, I'd branched over to Celtic, though I'm still making heads or tails of it. My current obsession is the Ancient Near East. I play with Hittite, Akkadian, and Assyrian, but Sumerian is what I love these days.
