Looking through the UnTextbook, which is a super interesting way to conduct an online class, there were a few units that interest me, mostly because I already had a prior interest in them.
The first was the section on Dante's Inferno. Like I mentioned in my last blog post, I've always been intrigued by Dante and his storytelling so I'm definitely looking forward to looking into it from a scholarly standpoint.
What's not interesting about this image by William Blake?
Homer's Odyssey piqued my interest also. The fact that the entire book is just one long poem spanning many myths is intriguing.
King Arthur and the myths surrounding him are some of the most well-known in the world. It's another section I look forward to studying more in-depth.
The section on Saints seems like something I'd like to look through as well. The Catholics, especially, have so many different saints it's ridiculous. There are surely many in there that I've never heard of.
Finally, the section on Tejas Legends would be great to get in to. As a native Texan, we were all taught Texas history, but myths were never included in the history. If the state was named after the Tejas Indians, their myths must be pretty interesting.
