Norse mythology

Christian mythology

Dragons

Legos

None of these

[HawkPerception]

Egyptian, Greek, and Norse are pretty interesting. They're interesting because they were what real people in the past believed in. Those "mythologies" were as real to the people back then as any religion is to people nowadays.

That's why I don't understand how people can be religious nowadays.

[Zack-Bann]

The same way people were religious back then

Not everyone can face the uncertainty of life without a perceived higher power guiding their hand

We have much more information at our fingertips nowadays. The world has a literacy rate of approximately 88%. In times of Ancient Greece, it was estimated to be less than 5%.

[Zack-Bann]

You’d think that would be enough

But clearly even with knowledge people still chose blissful ignorance because it’s easier than the alternative

[Zack-Bann]

Greek I learned in school
It was very extensive


Norse I always found fascinating and learned about all by myself


Christian was not technically a mythology where I come from
It’s the active religion


And I know a little about all the others but not as much as I’d like to

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

I counted it because it still has a mythology as none of it can be proven as true

[Zack-Bann]

Every mythology was once the practiced faith

No one could ever prove anything true

Absolutely Greek mythology. I loved reading about it, especially in middle and high school. I was obsessed to the point of wanting to name my first daughter Pandora or Persephone, but ended up going with something else completely as I didn't want her being teased for my tastes.

[Rei13]

It was hard to pick between Egyptian and Greek because I liked both as a kid. Probably Egyptian tho. The mythology was so fascinating

[DryGermanGuy]

Legos, primarily. But we also liked to watch science tv series, that explained all the historical eras.

[petitedollbabee]

Greek. Huge nerd for it. Now as an adult I have many Greek mythology tattoos.

[slatyb]

Math, and a lot of reading. I was doing algebra at 7 or 8, calculus at 11, all self taught from my mother's college textbooks. I read a lot of adult literature starting with Mark Twain's short stories and a lot of science fiction.

Sounds pretentious
