Im surprised I havent posted this before but mythology is one of my biggest interests and I was curious if anyone else was as fascinated with it as I am. Im really into Egyptian, Norse, Celtic, and well just about any type. And if you are interested in mythology, what mythological creature, god, etc, would you associate yourself or is your favorite. Favorite creature is Fenrir/Fenris. Mythological hero: Odyseus God: Osiris view post
Mythological hero: Beowulf Favorite Creature: Pegasus God: Odin view post
Hero: Cúchulainn the Hound of Ulster God: Lir I also have a fascination with the Nephilim. view post
The Nephilim are quite fascinating. view post
ive heard of the nephilim, but I dont understand what they are... view post
Nephilim=Children of Fallen angels. Wikipedia's definition: In the Torah and several non-canonical Jewish and early Christian writings, nephilim (in Hebrew הנּפלים means those causing others to fall) are a people created by the crossbreeding of the "sons of God" (benei elohim, בני האלהים) and the "daughters of men". (See Genesis 6:1.) The word nephilim is loosely translated as giants or titans in some translations of the Bible, and is left as nephilim in others. Theres alot more story to it and its a great topic. view post
oooh me! i'm currently working on a photographic series of different myths and characters. i'm making costumes and props and stuff.. i'm most knowledgeable about celtic myths, but i love norse and egyptian a lot. i'm now trying to delve more into middle eastern, indian and african myths. favorites: god- lugh goddess- badb story- deirdre of the sorrows view post
WP, have you checked out Gene Wolfe's Latro books? Strongly recommended for the mythology buffs (or the Wizard Knight duology, if Norse myth is your thing). The new book, [i:2bjo5tv6]Soldier of Sidon[/i:2bjo5tv6], is out tomorrow, I believe.
Favorite god: Sylvanus (Roman god of the forests). 
Odin and Pan are good, too.

Have you started on it yet? view post
I just recently started reading Greek mythology.. I have always loved the Icarus myth..my father used to tell me that very often... Hence, my favourite..but again..I haven't really read much... view post
[quote="Warrior-Poet":3mcnq80i]Have you started on it yet?[/quote:3mcnq80i] no, not yet. i'll either have to wait til my hair grows longer or get some extensions. view post
Aw so it might be awhile eh? view post
For people who like Mythology and Si-Fi i sugest looking into the Stargate SG-1 Tv show.... it goes into Eygptian Mythology quite deeply but it dose put a different spin on it....besides you know it's got to be good when it's going into it's 10th season!!!! 
that means it even beats out Star Trek 
he he he he!!!!!!

Yes Stargate is a very good show although I did like to Atlantis as much, its very interesting how Egyptian Mythology is tied into it. view post
i don't really like the Atlantis stargate i don't know why...maybe if i acctually watched it i'd get to enjoy it... view post
I dont understand why they even made the Atlantis series why ruin something thats good already. view post
i believe they made the Atlantis series because the fans wanted to see atlantis and by that time they (they as in Daniel) had already figured out that Atlantis wasn't on Earth and that it might even be in another galixey so they made another show view post
Eh o well I just really never got into it it seems different from the original to me for some reason. view post
thats cause it is different they did that perposley because they figured that since SG-1 was so succesful that it would be a bad idea to copy it so they made a different show and based it around Atlantis instead of the Stargate view post
Well I know that I was just stating to why I couldnt get into it. view post
i can't wait until Thursday! thats when the 3rd show of the 10th season airs on space for the first time!! i'm kind of upset that its ending though....but i mean 10 seasons i guess it time to end the show before the rateings drop view post
All good things must come to an end. view post
too true view post
