About

Neither most of my friends nor I have a fair apprehension of Greek and Roman mythology. This is a problem, as Western mythology still vibrantly pulses through our own cultural contributions, as well as those of our predecessors. Plus, a lot of the stories are badass.

To remedy said problem, Myth-O-Matic will post information about one myth every day. The base source will be Edith Hamilton's seminal Mythology, as well as some other written works and the internets. 'Matic will try to note interesting facts about the myth's subsequent influence, initial descriptions in ancient literature, and various other info-bits.
