I love mythology. It’s part of the reason I studied history. To understand the complex people, societies, and cultures you need to understand their mythologies too. For example, what kind of culture creates a pantheon as violent and incestuous as the Greek Pantheon? Our mythologies are mirrors of our societies, highlighting our flaws and anxieties back at us.
