Re: Greek Mythology
[ QUOTE ]
I know very little about it. Like pretty much nothing beyond 4 or 5 obvious 'who was the God of xxxx?'. I'm interested in learning all about it, not only because it seems interesting, but also because I'm a big fan of quiz shows and it seems to pop up daily.
But where do I start?

The Hamilton suggestion is an excellent one. Joseph Campbell was also mentioned and he is quality.
If you get past those two and want to dig deeper, go with Robert Graves. He's the best that I have not seen in this thread. His theories on mythology and how/why/where myths originate are very interesting.
