Favorite Myth

[sooperg]

mine is the trojan horse! oh those brilliant greeks.

 

[keyper159]

Anything about the Norse. Its the most violent awesome mythology I've read.

 

[megapenguinx]

The labors of Heracles.

 

[Sergeant M. Fudgey]

The Odyssey. The Greeks were pretty damn awesome. That, and the story about Cronos (Don't argue about the name, there are about five ways to spell it) eating his kids.

 

[AbsoluteVirtue18]

Beowulf. Totally. The first truly noble hero in history.


The movie ruined him.

 

[SmilingKitsune]

The Odyssey, an epic like few others.

mine is the trojan horse! oh those brilliant greeks.

Actually, its entirely possible it wasn't a myth. I saw a TV program that explained it, but I couldn't find links.

 

[Kajt]

Norse and Roman myths.

 

[NeutralDrow]

Thor and Loki getting Thor's hammer back from the frost giant Thrym. Mainly because it involved the two cross-dressing and Thor pulling off a spectacularly bad performance masquerading as Freya (and Loki's incredible skill at fast-talking).

(After the giants are dead)

Loki: "Nice job, Freya."
Thor: "Shut the hell up. We will never speak of this again."

Beowulf. Totally. The first truly noble hero in history.


The movie ruined him.

The movie was a butchering to the myth.

Also I forget the Aeneid, its the story of the last Trojan, Aeneas, who escapes from Troy before the fall, and founds the city of Rome.

 

[Insomniaku]

Battle of Thermopylae

 

[Aqualung]

King Minos and the Labyrinth.

I mean, plus, how hilarious is it that King Minos's wife would fall in love with a bull, climb into a bull-shaped wooden costume, and commit some very naughty deeds with said bull, only to give birth to a bull-man son that they lock in the very elaborate basement? Fun stuffs.

A Bishock-style game could work very well in the labyrinth, just sayin'.

 

[Aqualung]

Battle of Thermopylae

That.. wasn't a myth. >.> And it wasn't 300 Spartans, it was more like.. 300 Spartans and 2100 Helots.

That would kick ass, the Minotaur would be kind of like a Big Daddy for it, the problem would be, the focus would be running and hiding, whereas in BioShock the focus is hiding and killing, but there could be some psychotic people down there, I'd be crazy if I was stuck down there.

 

[3rd rung]

the whole of Norse mythology really interesting and a great read through

 

[ellie91]

Heracles or just generally anything greek but i have a particular soft spot for heracles

 

[Hippobatman]

Thor and Loki getting Thor's hammer back from the frost giant Thrym. Mainly because it involved the two cross-dressing and Thor pulling off a spectacularly bad performance masquerading as Freya (and Loki's incredible skill at fast-talking).

Thrymskviða is awesome. Gotta love cross dressing Gods.

I've always been fascinated with the Norse mythology. It's by far the most interesting in my opinion.

 

[D.C.]

Norse, celtic, or mongolian stuff as for a single mythological tale probably the one with Thor and the two kids
