That was great fun, thank you Susan! Myth is always current, as Sallustius says in his Concerning the Gods - something that has never happened and is ALWAYS happening.
I remember my first introduction to the Greek and Roman myths in an illustrated book when I was a child. I used to win art competitions in school and won book tokens. I graduated from Noddy and Big Ears to Grimm’s and Anderson’s fairytales to the story of Psyche and Cupid my favourite because of all the tasks needed to get to immortality! Then the classical myths of all the heroes… completely addicted. These all came into my drawings and through those drawings I met Robin my late husband. I love what you are doing and what Susan is doing. I feel all creative people and especially on-the-spectrum minds love the myths of all countries. Amazing post!! ❤️
I teach a general education public school in Texas 5th grade Language Arts. I love doing the myths, both Norse and Greek. I tell my students that the story of Hercules is the story of the ultimate superhero. I also like to draw the connection to the stars because so many of our myths are named in the stars. That usually makes quite an impression on them.
Thank you! I’m glad to hear about your experience teaching mythology. Which astral myths are your favorite? The link no longer works because the registration for this course closed in late May.
That is hard to answer, but I love the work of Mary Stewart Adams on the nursery rhymes and their connection to the stars as written about in her book, The Star Tales of Mother Goose. I am partial to the Summer Triangle and Aquila in particular, hence the EAGLE next to my user name. I am grateful to read the Hercules book by PDF, so glad it is available. I am starting into it.
