And so I start my journey into the wonderful world of literature.

upboated :^)

can anybody recommend a good study on mythology? Not the stories themselves, just a deep analysis of them. No Joseph Campbell please.

Should have just started with Robert Graves

>>8317164
You start with Greek mythology? That's really basic. You should move onto Norse mythology afterwards and then Greek philosophy

Read the white goddess, it's about half bullshit but it's not a bad primer and it's a lot of fun.
>>8317164
M8 just read the Iliad and Ovid if you want all the small myths no-one cares about (but presented in a beautiful fashion unlike in Hesiod) secondary texts are for wussies.

>>8317278
The Golden Bough is good. Maybe more dated than Campbell but certainly still a very comprehensive analysis.

>>8317164
That's not literature though. More like a text book desu senpai... Still a worthy read

make sure you check this OP

The White Goddess is complete bullshit (on par with WE WUZ KANGZ nonsense) but I don't know about the rest of his work.
