The giant sperm?
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

I am leary about the average audience member for SciFi knowing what a minotaur is. sigh

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Do kids these days not study mythology in school?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I never studied mythology in school. I learned it on my own. If I hadn't accidentally come across a Bulfinches Mythology in the public library when I was 7, I might've easily remained unaware that Greek and Roman mythology existed, until I went to college.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
We did when I was in high school, but I graduated, umm...
Crap. Fourteen years ago.
Also, that was in pre-I.B. Hon. English.
I have no frame of ref. for what normal kids study, having never been one.

I read Edith Hamilton in elementary school (Social Studies), and then again in either high school or middle school English class.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
We read parts of the Illiad. We also hit mythology in Jr Hi. I'm pretty sure we hit a verion of Arachne in 4th grade or so. I both HS and JrHi were Honors classes, but I'm pretty sure that at least some mythology gets into most people's schooling.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
the elementry school kids around here study mythology. but I don't know how well.
I know I studied it in school - but scince I read fairytales, mythology , folktales and tall tales pretty indiscriminately in elementry school, I couldn't tell you what i learned in school and what i picked up on my own.

Oh right! We also read the Illiad and the Odyssey at some point. Can't remember when.

If I only had a brain...
My kids read bits of the Iliad and the Odyssey, and my son studied all the Greek gods. He studied Islam and Buddhism, too, which I thought was cool.
