Yes, the study of myth.
Gods, goddesses, mythical creatures, and the likes.
I am beginning to love mythology, ever since playing Age of Mythology. It's very fascinating.
Discussion in order.

Mythology is teh shit. I got interested in it when my sister had to do a play on the Greek gods and goddesses five years ago. She brought home a book about 1000 pages thick and I read more than half of it. >_<
Anyways, I can't say which I like better, Egyptian or Greek. I also love Native American mythology and anything to do with spirit animals. (Although I don't believe that's myth. I have two.)
If you love mythology, I suggest reading the series called Everworld. Very good book. I think you'd like it, Peeki.

Thanks for the recommendation, I will try and find that book... somewhere. ^_^; Uh, and I've come upon an interesting fact, the Egyptian God, Serapis, is the Greek God, Zeus!

Greek Mythology pwns... Egyptian too.
Ever heard of Norse mythology?
All the stories and gods were created for people to be able to understand what happened around them, Like nature.
It makes me wonder if that the religion that we have, was also created this way (Which I kinda thinkit is). How do we know its real?

Difficult to answer, at least for me.
Uh, anyway. Yeah.
Norse Mythology. Yeah. Thor. Loki. Baldr. Freyja. Those guys. They suck. Except Thor!
The best ones are the Egyptian and the Greeks!
Oh, and Pluto (Roman God) is Hades (Greek God), right?

Don't dare to say something bad about Thor. You must worship the god of thunder.
Anyway, I've read a book about Greek Mythology. Interesting book, pretty cool.

I like Norse Mythology... just not playing them in Age of Mythology. I especially like Loki and Hel.

Nooo... Mythology is the study of myths... legends... not religion. The study of religion is Theology.

Actually, Mythology does include religion. And I know what Theology is thank you very much.

Well, you do have a point. But, it isn't based on religion. (hopefully I made sense)
