![]() ![]() I am still stunned by my classmates’ reactions to mythology, the genuine fear and dismissal they showed to learning about other cultures, other faiths. Whatever mythology we learned about came with these specific conditions, the kind which kept the myths as old and irrelevant moral tales, something I firmly disagree with. They even passed out little permission slips that would excuse certain students from attending the few mythology classes we had, because they didn’t believe in learning about false Gods. Although my school wasn’t officially Christian, a large Christian populace attended, and so lessons were generally targeted to them, much to my confusion. Before we began our lesson, however, our teacher had to explain to us that these were outdated faiths (specifically ancient), and that our modern culture had rightfully moved away from polytheism. When I was in elementary school, we had a unit on ancient mythology, and our textbooks came with different illustrations of the Gods, from Egyptian to Greek.
