Mark Donahue

So it’s about religion? 😜

Matt Brookner

Joseph Campbell: overrated or rightfully enshrined?

Al Martinez

Greek and Roman mythology were among my favorites in Grammar School.

Zoe Teplick

What are some of the most persistent myths,the ones that appear in various cultures throughout history?

Al Martinez

My question is two parts. Greek and Roman mythology are the two best known to the Western world, which one precedes the other or influences the other the most. The second part of my question is what other mythologies are there, such as Asian, South American, Egyptian. How many others are there in which are the oldest?

Michael Gonzalez

Who is your favorite God from Greek and Roman mythology?

Everest Chamberlain

What’s something from mythology that has carried over into modern traditions that most people don’t know the origins of? This could be holiday traditions or other things (like maybe some Olympics traditions or other events?)

Christa Avampato

Why did Greek and Roman mythology develop with so many similarities in stories and characters but with different names?

Christa Avampato

Why are the muses discussed much less than the other goddesses? What was the inspiration for them? When were they first referenced? Why does the number of them vary across different sources?

Craig Minami

Is the legend of King Arthur (Geoffrey of Monmouth) more like 20th Century fantasy (Tolkein) than mythology?

Racha Slaoui

What's the most underrated mythology? One that most people don't know about?

Mary Ann

What is your favorite/most interesting instance of one culture absorbing an older mythology into their own?

Craig Minami

Do you equally enjoy movie versions of Greek mythology like "Clash of the Titans" or adaptations of parts of mythologies like "Wonder Woman" (Diana is the daughter of Hippolyta) and Marvel Universe's versions of Norse gods (Thor, Odin, Loki),

Eric

[Oh snap, am skimming through his blog now and he seems really cool. Great choice!] 1) Why were the Romans such biters?; B) Harmful interpretations of major modern organized religions aside, is there any tendency from mythology or our mythologizing that you think is a detriment to culture(s), and is there a way to address this?

Laura A

Ahhh!!! Mythology is my jam!! I studied ancient history at uni so I’m so excited for this episode (no pressure Alie 😆). Everyone else has asked really great questions. As an Ologite, I gotta ask smart people dumb questions, what is your favourite mythological creature?

Jordan S.

For people interested in mythology (Greco-Roman or otherwise,) who don't know where to start reading, what are some myth collections that you recommend for reading? Which are your favorites, the older collections (like Fasti, Phaenomena, Metamorphoses,) or the newer collections like Edith Hamilton's?

Caroline

Who is your favourite mythological underdog? (Because superheroes are being done to death right now...)

Billy Marino

Why is mythological storytelling so important for human perception/understanding?

Brian Edge

I grew up reading Edith Hamilton's book and still own a very worn copy. What is your favorite adaptation of ancient myths into other forms of art? I love Wagner's Götterdämmerung.

John Worster

Why do we need to escape real life?

Lou Tenant

The Leda and the Swan story has always been odd to me, even put up next to other Greek myths. Is there a reason that Zeus would become a swan to have consensual/non-consensual relations with a human, why would the woman have relations with the swan in the consensual version and why would they believe that she would lay eggs? Also, is there any myth that you believe is stranger than this one?

Paula Herrera

What is your favorite myth or legend created for a work of fiction?

Tyler

Of the two major comics publishers, who do you think has better superhero stories, Marvel or DC?

Radha Vakharia

Since you are a storyteller have you ever made up your own myths?

The Project Project

How pervasive is mythology today? And how has the writing of Joseph Campbell influenced his views on mythology?

Matty Sallin

Athena sprung from the head of Zeus. Seriously, WTF? Why that?

Andrew Paulson

Any thoughts on how the new Star Wars films evoke the Hero's Journey monomyth?

Anna Marie

How exactly did society go from believing that Greek & Roman gods were real to regarding them as myths? And how much longer before today's religions become 'myths from the past'?

Courtney Sobieski

What mythology do we just have totally wrong? Like, our modern telling of the story is so much different from the original?
