My younger brother has always been obsessed with Greek Mythology. He would sit for hours reading books on it and attempting to get me to engage in conversation with him about the topic. I picked up bits and pieces of knowledge about the subject from him, but not much that stuck with me since it wasn't a significant interest of my own. I have always loved the movie 300, and have possibly seen it around 300 times. I probably know more about Spartan life individually than I do about Greek Mythology as a whole. I've always joked that male or female, I'll raise my children as Spartan warriors.I know stories of gods such as Zeus and Aphrodite, half gods like Hercules and Achilles, and tales of creatures such as Sirens and warriors such as Agamemnon. Learning in school when I was younger about events such as the Trojan War lead up to hearing about pieces of Greek Mythology but whether my teacher never elaborated or I simply forgot the information I'm not positive. Bits of movies growing up, stories in Middle School history classes, my parents and my brother are pretty much the only reason I'd know anything about this subject.
