Mythology allows you to take a journey into an exciting and mysterious world. In your travels, you can expect to encounter gods, heroes, monsters, exotic countries, and amazing adventures. For pure story value, readings in mythology have no match. In addition, the experience of mythology will enrich your understanding of literary and artistic works created throughout the ages. You will see that you have entered a living tradition: we continue to incorporate mythological themes and messages in our culture today. Even our modern mass media reflect the motifs and characters that can be found in ancient stories from around the world. Myths are as close to us today as the adventures of Indiana Jones, the Starship Enterprise, or Game of Thrones.
