Let's see uh...Beowulf.

Galahad.

Does Dante from The Divine Comedy count?

Perseus.

Odysseus.

Achilles.

Scathatch, however you spell her name.

Susano-o, for some reason.

And Mordred is not a hero but villains a super interesting too.

again jason created the Greek Avengers

golden fleece was a badass saga and the fact no one talks about what is likely a 13 year old greek child creating fanfiction disappoints me

Galahad is interesting because you gotta wonder what he was thinking when Arthur just "You! You're the best knight ever, deal with it."

@Trip huh

well, I don't know how to direct you there

@Squid: I

have actually never read that tale before

weird

@Space: nice

out of curiosity, was your interest sparked by fate or the other way around?

@Jam: well I mean

he was

his role in many versions of the story is to be just that

Hector: being the only somewhat decent guy from the iliad helps.

most knights of the round table when I could remember their names.

liked Odin and a lot of the norse gods since they seemed slightly less dickish than the greeks.

I.... Don't really have any particular favriotes.

I enjoy mythology and legends and things, but no one really.... ummmmm, stands out as my favriote so to speak.

@Bcom: Yeah, Hector is a Family Man

although he was hardly spotless either

@Space: right right

yeah, I know what that sort of thing can be like

there's the really young interest, then something pulls you in from a different avenue later in life

like, that happened to me with Arthurian Legends, for one example

@Imca: It's cool, you don't have to apologise, it's just an idle question because I'm thinking about myths alot

due to

A) SMT plot I am GMing

and B) Trying to decide what to do for my really late birthday present

i like raven a lot

from first nations tales

and hector of troy

oh and i like hades, he's chill

#475848: Jan 14th 2016 at 9:48:38 PM

note I said SOMEWHAT decent. Greek heroes are flawed, and I get that, but it's hard to sympathize from a modern perspective because their flaws can seem so much....more. at least too me.

anyway hector was cool guy and I found him relatable as i was forced to read the story in highschool english classes

[up] oh yes Hades, he was cool too

Haha Fate has actually ruined several heroes for me.

I still love the shit out of it but now I can't help but picture that version.

Like Bouddica.

Space knows what I'm talking about.

It's funny, stories with Crow are some of my favourite of the Dreaming stories I've heard.

Interesting how, as I understand it, they're both tricksters too.

@Bcom: oh right

yeah, being forced to read books isn't fun

@Jam: I Am Sorry
