What is it that makes mythology one of the most interesting realms for the modern day storyteller?
Whether it be comics or Teen fiction books like the Percy Jackson Olympian Series. There is a influx of mythological stories that are being retold and the public are eating them up.
There are a few factors, I believe, that make mythology so appealing. Firstly, there is a mist that surrounds the stories that give writers and readers freedom to use thier imagination. Also, there there is a validity that time seems to have given to the stories so even though as a reader I am thinking this is a fiction and using my imagination I also am really wanting this to be real, and its not "so" farfetched. Finally, Mythology has an enchantment that is rooted in the touching of the mortal and the divine. It is a interesting look that is very vogue to question these divine figures through fun or terrible stories.
These are some thoughts and I would love to hear yours!
