Mythology

First of all, sorry for such a late post. You see, I was trying my best to recover (which ironically means slacking VERY HARD) from this irritating Bronchitis or something.

As you may already know, I find History very interesting and engaging (in other words I love it). It kind of started in P4 when my uncle bought me & my elder brother Age of Mythology(AOM) for christmas. It got me really interested and engaged (in other words loving it)in mythology for the first time because before that, I had known bits and pieces of mythology especially Greek, and the game had a very unique feature of showing you the history and facts of almost everything in the game just by clicking on the icon of the object with it selected. So when I first started, I was like "Hey I know this guy (E.g. Achilles)!" So I clicked the icon and read the mythology surrounding the character and from then on I was hooked. I read almost every single units', researchs', buildings', dieties' histories and mythologies. The many times I visited the library I borrowed books on mythology and history, mostly concerning the Greek, Egyptian and Norse civilizations because they were the three you can choose from when you play AOM.

Then when family members or friends stumbled onto the subject, I 口如悬河地talked about it. Each time they were impressed and commended me on it, I swelled with pride and slowly became arrogant and lazy. I stopped borrowing books at the library and research on the subject. I was also very close-minded to other civilizations such as the Celts and Chinese. I was also disliked how Roman mythology actually took most of the Greek one and completely changed the names, which I saw as copying. However, I am honest with myself now, I am no professional in this area. My mum said I could lecture classes on it, but really I can't. For one thing, I mostly know only mythology and very little history because it was more boring. For another, my understanding was shallow and limited because I didn't pursue a lot of less well known legends and stories. Lastly, I was closed minded to other mythologies.

Now, I'm beginning to be more receptive and take in more history, which is not only limited to the three ancient civilizations as mentioned but also to other civilizations from different eras such as the middle ages, dark ages, industrial and modern age. I'm also more interested in Roman history, if not the mythology, now.

Haha what a boring post. I have'nt recovered by the way, seems like school stress is inhibiting it.
