Haha... with Greek/Roman mythology, you get more Zeus shenanigans. It's kind of more... well, rapey, though.

I usually love all things based on all mythology so can't relate but I do also understand why you'd feel that way. Greek is probably my favourite (as my first brush with mythology was a Ladybird book about Medusa) so I don't mind if it's overdone.

There are a handful of funny/light hearted stories in Norse mythology though!

I enjoy most mythology inspired works, but I'd like to see more media that explores the mythology of other cultures besides western ones.

Yeah. :( I'd really like stuff exploring Hindu mythology. From what I've read the gods are actually really nice to mortals. Like, there's even essentially a reverse Orpheus myth where a wife follows the god of the dead everywhere until he's so moved by her devotion he gives her everything he offered to make her leave him alone and brings her husband back to life, no strings attached.

African myths are sadly ignored too. My memory's fuzzy, but I think there was a story about the first man and the gods were amazed by him and his cow.

Greek mythology is fucking dark too, and I don't know why we treat it as comic opera, it doesn't make any sense. I'm not tired of Greek/Roman mythology but I am tired with that particular take on it.

There are some pretty dark and dour Greek/Roman myths.

[(Anonymous)]

Some really messed up ones too.

Re: There are some pretty dark and dour Greek/Roman myths.

[sparklywalls]

Yeah. Some of the punishments the gods dole out to various mortals for example!

true. But there is no major downer ending in the same sense as Ragnarok. Ragnarok moves way past dark and dour and into scarily depressing.

Re: There are some pretty dark and dour Greek/Roman myths.

[(Anonymous)]

No, but I'd rather an end to the suffering than a nebulous continuation of it for all eternity for some of them.

Re: There are some pretty dark and dour Greek/Roman myths.

But Ragnarök is not the end! That's one reason why I love Norse mythology so much, because after it happens, there's a new beginning.

[(Anonymous)]

Stay off the North American interpretations. Original sagas and Norse mythology are full of humor, but the jokes are just not understood by most people from the US (or maybe it's just Hollywood that JUST DOESN'T GET IT?). Brits, by comparison, is right at home with Viking humor. It's dark, for sure, but hilarious.

Research Thrymskvida for comparison.

[(Anonymous)]

Ah, yes, good ol' Greek/Roman mythos, where a woman was cursed/turned into a monster for daring to be raped in Athena's temple and other bullshit like that.

[(Anonymous)]

Maybe you have been subjected to only a fraction of Norse mythology? *g* I especially like it because it has a positive outlook - after Ragnarök happens, everything gets renewed/reborn. A new cycle with new chances begins. I've always found that very comforting.
