Yes, of course. I've been studying Greek myths since I first got a copy of D'aulaire's Book of Greek Myths when I was 9.

Norse mythology is my second favorite.

Yeah and then my giant phallus turned into Aphrodite. akudood;

Some of the stories are so silly that I have a hard time believing that people actually thought they were true.
