Gah, I hate it when parents are annoying. It’s not really my parent’s fault any more, but David’s dad, yes. Stupid man, wanting to know specific times of meeting. I don’t do specific times, I like making things up as I go along. However, if someone else sets a time, I will be there way early for it. Which means I’m always able to help out with whatever is happening.
Study for Classical Mythology is well under way. Here are some rough notes on what a myth is, and its role in antiquity.
~Darkthorn
- The tales a society tells itself to explain natural phenomena, promote important values, and establish social norms
- They were very important in teaching people about their relation to the divine
- Define everything on which human existence depends
- Provide an explanation for death and the seasons
- Story patterns and quests, follow guidelines.
- Preserves history, explains archaeology to the ancients
- Many different interpretations of myth, not a homogenised collection, no true one, all are correct
