Just curious

What is your most favourite myth? Folk tale?

How about creatures in folk tales?

I've been reading a lot of Norse and Celtic lately and was wondering if anyone else takes an interest in this sort of stuff.

As crazy as this sounds, I kinda believe in vampires. Or maybe I just love the idea. Not the blood sucking part, but vampire stories are always romantic-like.

Yeah I have to agree on the romance part. Especially how they seduce the victim before sucking on their neck.

I just finished reading about Ragnarok, interesting how they depict Armageddon on that story.

Greek mythology is a wonderful pantheon of interesting characters! The Greek gods were so capricious and flawed. They are a fasinating morality play on the human condition. The ancient Greeks aced the art form and has yet to be equalled since.

By the way, welcome aboard matie!

Have you tried the Kinsella translation of An Táin? it's readily available and the best translation of Europes oldest epic poem with these amazing drawings in printers ink by a famous irish artist (louis le brocquoy). It's basically the story of chuchulain.

The Bacchae, its so old (Euripides wrote it I think?) but the values of the story are still in affect.

The Baccahe extremely summed up...

Ruler doesnt believe in Dionysus (God of pleasure/whine/etc) existance/forbids worship of Dionysus. Dionysus appears in human form to the ruler, human Dionysus tries to reason/convince the ruler, but the ruler is too straight laced/doesnt believe Dionysus. Dionysus makes the ruler go crazy, he then dresses up as a girl to see the Bacchae (crazy women) as they celebrate a holiday to Dionysus. Dionysus bends a tree for the ruler(lol), and the ruler sits atop the tree. Dionysus then calls out to the Bacchae, who run to the tree ,get him down, and tear him apart by his limbs. His mother rips off his head, puts it on a pike and returns home. Her father, the founder of the land the ruler previously reigned over made her (a crazy bacchae women) come to, and realize she decapitated her son.

The moral is basically if you tighten the strings too much on yourself, youre bound to break. Im a Catholic, but the fact we still dont let priests get laid is ONE of the modern examples. Catholic priests almost always TRY to repress their sexual desires, but that is NOT normal. Eventually some of them WILL break.
