Classical Mythology
Welcome to Classical Mythlogy. The Myths of Ancient Greece form the fondation of the Westren Tradition starting with The Illiad. As Greece Waned Imperial Rome adapted their mythlogy to their way of life culimating in The Aenied. Since Greece and Roman Mythlogy are nearly identical, I'll group them toghether. Dicuss away.

A common question asked about the Iliad is why Priam asked Helen who everyone was 9 years into the siege, and that he should have asked before then. Any thoughts?

By ScottN on Wednesday, February 28, 2001 - 9:23 am: Maybe Priam started suffering from Alzheimer's?
By ScottN on Wednesday, February 28, 2001 - 9:24 am: Of course, we all know that what was really happening was a cabbagehead moment. See the Nitcentral Glossaries for more details.
