The Odyssey was a very enjoyable story, the read was painful but the actual story of Odysseus is AMAZING |

Telemachus just sits in the lap of luxury while he gets rich and famous. And its a little too aristocratic. Apparently, Homer was an Aristocratic writer. I kinda want to read the Titanomachy, but it'll probably be extremely hard to read and long. |

This is a truth among many heroes, however, none of them really EARN their keep. Since being a hero, or in the Odyssey's case godlike, is a job where people always give you money and gold and such, they are ALWAYS getting wealthier and wealthier so the children really need very little more. |

...I'm bloody well impressed! I'm currently shuffling through the Oddysey, not doing any work at all, and it's not bad. I'd probably have enjoyed it more if it hadn't been mandatory reading for school. As far as I'm concerned, Norse mythos > Greek and Roman mythos. |

I tend to like them both a lot. Sure, Greek and Roman mythology doesn't have cool long words to pop out in random conversations like: - Gottendamerung - Ragnarökr - Yggdrasil - Valkyrie - Doppleganger (Germanic, but close enough) But the Norse don't have gods that are all somehow good AND bad at the same time *cough* Poseidon *cough*. Anyway, try liking The Odyssey when you have to memorize 25 lines and present it expressively to the whole class for around 20-30% of the unit mark ><. |

then again, I am impressed with all of the Greek God names! Much cooler than the norse: Zeus > Odin Aphrodite > Freya Hades > Hel Also, gods like Nemesis, Nike, and Hephaistos all make me happy! |

Very true. Apollo>Siegfried and stuff like that. I like the name Odin and Thor though. Frigg is kind of weird... Greek monsters though don't have the best names. (Manticore, Scylla, Hydra etcetera.) |

You forget however, that some of the greek monsters are aptly named. Please consider the following: Cerberus The Titans Gorgons etc. |

Yeah, well, names don't get too much damn cooler than "Loki". LOKI! LOKI FTW! And Vidar's pretty cool too. I might be biased towards Norse mythology though, seeing as I went to Norway for a month and spend 60% of the time looking through museums and learning about the mythos... That was the best summer. Ever. Too bad I went ALONE! It got kinda dull. :\ |

Messed-up Roman emperors > All mythology, ever. Nero built a bridge of tied-together boats across the Bay of Naples and held parades across it all damn day, just 'cause he could. And from the writings of Suetonius, who wrote a historical work on the reign of Nero:
