Mythology Monday: Japanese Ghosts Don’t Fuck Around
So, this Monday I’m doing something a little different from what I’ve normally done with these posts, where I’ve summarized stories from various mythologies. This time, I’m more going to discuss the background of a creature from a mythology.
Today, I want to talk about the most terrifying of all Japanese ghosts, the onryou.
Mythology Monday: How Anansi Got All The Stories
Welcome back to Mythology Monday, friends! You know, I have a little bit of a soft spot for trickster-type characters, and few are trickier than that West African spider god, Anansi.
Here’s how he managed to snag all the stories in the world.
Mythology Monday: In Which Hades Kidnaps Himself A Girlfriend
As far as the Greek gods go, Hades is one of the least dickish. Being the god of the underworld, and thus someone a lot of folks wanted to be around, he mostly just kinda keeps to himself. Of course, that doesn’t stop him from kidnapping Persephone.
Hey, I didn’t say Hades was a great guy, just that he was less of an asshole than, say, Zeus or Poseidon. That’s a very low bar to clear.
Mythology Monday: The Wooing Of Emer
Another Monday, another snarky mythology summary. This week, we’re going back to Ireland and our boy Cu Chulainn, and how he got hitched.
Mythology Monday: Local Woman Turned Into Spider, Film At 11
It’s that time of week again, and I’m once more dipping into the well of Greek mythology to tell you the story of Arachne. Hint: it’s where we get the word “arachnid” from. Though I guess the title of the post kind of gives it away, huh.
Mythology Monday: The Time Thor Wore A Dress
Welcome back to Mythology Monday! Today, I’m going to talk about yet another Norse myth. This one involves Thor crossdressing in a bid to get his stolen hammer back. To be fair, I’ve seen dudes crossdress for less.
Mythology Monday: That Time Amaterasu Hung Out In A Cave
So, in a post I made earlier this month I told you all about Izanagi and Izanami, and mentioned three other gods. This story is about one of them, specifically Amaterasu.
Mythology Monday: The Judgement Of Paris
It’s Monday, which means that it’s time to talk about mythology. This week, I shall tell you the tale of the Judgement of Paris, aka How The Trojan War Got Started.
Mythology Monday: How Cú Chulainn Got His Name
It’s that time of week again, and this week we’re going to take a look at a bit of Irish mythology. Specifically, I’m going to be talking about one of Ireland’s most well known cultural heroes, Cú Chulainn. More specifically, I’m going to be talking about how he came to be called Cu Chulainn in the first place.
Also, Cú Chulainn is not pronounced the way you think it is. Nothing in Irish is pronounced the way you think it is.
