greek mythology, more to it than it seems.

last night, for some reason, i got into the mood of wanting to learn about the greek mythology. Since I was always fascinated with Hercules, the disney movie. I remember learning it a long time ago during my freshman year in high school. but i didnt have the motivation to learn by then. Until recently, I saw the movie Troy. My desire to learn

I know it's been awhile since you've heard from me :-). I've loved mythologies (especially Roman and Greek!) I thought it would be interesting to know the Hades did not get the underworld by choice. Since Zeus was the one who grew up and killed Cronus and got all of his siblings out of Cronus' stomach, he ultimately was the top ruler and to be kind he gave Hades the underworld and Podeidon the sea (his 2 brothers) so they would rule 3 major parts: the sea, underworld, and the heavens and not fight over power and supress their children like Uranus and Cronus. Also Hera liked Heracules even though it was her husband who had an affair with Hercules' mother. You would enjoy Babylonian mythology too :-) It's the original (even before the Bible stories)Enjoy :-)
