Greek Mythology

[ValarMorghulis]

I've tried to get into Mythology a few times as well, unfortunately the idea of it seems to be more interesting than the fact of it in many cases. A lot of the books are full of dry facts and just not enough interesting information for my MTV brain. The Hamilton book isn't that bad but I'm not sure I've read all of it.

I've just ordered a load of Joseph Campbell books and books like the Seven Basic Plots to see if that will expand my interest and knowledge in the area without boring me.

BTW: the books I've ordered are below.
1. "Myth and the Movies: Discovering the Mythic Structure of 50 Unforgettable Films" Stuart Voytilla;
2. "The Writer's Journey: Mythic Structure for Writers" Christopher Vogler;
3. "Pathways to Bliss: Mythology and Personal Transformation" J. Campbell
4. "The Hero with a Thousand Faces " Joseph Campbell
5. "The Power of Myth" Joseph Campbell
6. "The Seven Basic Plots: Why We Tell Stories" Christopher Booker
7. "Myths to Live by " Joseph Campbell
