Wascally Wabbit:JUST WHO'S IDEA WAS THIS! TELL ME SO I CAN give them a Made Of Win nomination. We've needed a section on myths/fairytales in the abstract since approximatley forever.

Meshakhad: I am of the opinion that The Bible should be listed here, not under Literature. This would necessitate changing the title from Oral Tradition to Myth And Legend, but it feels appropriate.

Lord Seth: I disagree. Because the Bible is literature; it's all written down! It just seems unnecessary to change a trope title (and the trope's description) just to put in one example in when it's already somewhere else. Actually, I also question whether the Epic of Gilgamesh should be listed, as it's a "definite text" (or whatever you want to term it) as well.
