I am talking about stories found in Edith Hamilton's Mythology.

Things like Romeo and Juliet are based on or similar to the brief story of lovers Pyramus and Thisbe.

It does not have to be a myth from Mythology I am open to all ideas.

I have always been totally fascinated with anything ancient. Are there any majors or minors for stuff dealing with Roman and Greek history/mythology?
Thanks.

I've tried searching this on Google, but I can't find an answer. I'm supposed to write a Greek myth in my English class and the instructions ask the time/place, but I don't really know when mythology took place.

My argument is basically that they combined history and mythology and that it effects our understanding of them today, but I can't come up with a good thesis statement for it.
@null the living darkness, that doesn't help much (although maybe I could take from it that to the Greeks Myth and History were inseparable, but that still doesn't break down to a concise thesis).

If you could, could you please give me some ideas about what to write for my greek myth? We can make our own god, goddess, or hero as a main characters. I really want to write about a goddess that loves someone and all of that sappy stuff, but also one that likes sports, somwhat like an athlete story. Also, my myth must be used to explain something in nature that has a natural occurrence in life. I can't repeat a story that is repeated in a mythology book. Please help! I just can't think! I have great ideas, but it's just not clicking!
Thank you,
Roxy

We have been talking to our children about College and my sons intrested in Mythology, greek gods, etc.. Would that fall under Philosophy?

At school we are doing a project and i need to know how to write Mythology for the title. I have looked all over the internet but all i see is how to write the letters and i dont understand it so if you could help me just post the letters thanks or the names of the letters in the greek alphabet cuz i know were to find those

there are still people who worship the greek gods, I am not the only one. If someone posts about the greek gods, even if they are talking about their religious beliefs, the first category suggestion will be mythology and folk tell. there are Hellenists, Greek neo pagans, Eclectic Greek Polytheist, ETC. it isn't dead beliefs.

I need to know because i have to read four books from a british author, so if the author you say has four or more books than that would be great.
I mean to say do they write "stories" that involve mythology like the Percy Jackson series.
