I’ll be honest from the get-go and fess up to asking you to help me prepare a one-off English lecture I have to deliver to some (special English course) high school students about “Mythology”. I have concluded my best approach will be to go for the “Top Ten” approach and briefly discuss the myths and fables surrounding the more popular mythological characters and creatures. I can approximate a fairly comprehensive list by myself of course – but I’m a British public-school educated, middle-aged man and perhaps would approach the task from a rather more classical angle than is strictly necessary.
Therefore, in no particular order, would people be so kind as to submit five mythological character/creatures that they deem worthy of mention – then I can go away and do my homework (which is rapidly turning out to be far too much for such a pathetic visiting professor fee!). I’m not bothered if there is any doubt as to whether or not the character WAS a real person e.g. Robin Hood, King Arthur.
My five:
King Arthur
Theseus and The Minator
St. George (yes I considered St. David but then I have to do the whole "What is Wales?" thing.)
Hercules
Thor
Many thanks.
