Y'all got any mythology themed/inspired stories?

[brilliiant]

Hey, so, the point of this thread is right there on the tin. Idk about you guys, but I love world mythology and am always down to see new takes on it. If you're writing a novel or a comic that draws on stories from greek, norse, aztec et al mythology, I'd love to check them out. Go ahead and share them here.

Consequently that's also the focus of my comic, if this sort of stuff is your jam, check it out.

Despite the modern setting, Errant uses a lot of stuff from Iron Age British mythology, especially the legends of King Arthur, as well as concepts like Changelings, and takes place in a pagan culture where the Romano-Celtic pantheon, like Sulis Minerva and Brigantia are still worshipped.

Mine isn't (it has some vague references to old English/French werewolf myths, but that's about it), but I just want to chime in and say that I also love this genre (and I love Artifakt), so I'm excited to see what gets posted here.

Yes -- indirectly. I find the ancient aliens variant mythology to be fun. (a.k.a. the ancient astronauts trope: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AncientAstronauts ) In my Alien Fiction series, my three big characters are all aliens who get revered as gods in various human cultures. Thus they go by the names Shiva, Odin, and Isis.
I intend to eventually introduce other alien characters one day, maybe.

No series link for you.

So @brilliiant, what is it about mythology which attracts you?

[nathanKmcwilliams]

Yeah. I've got Norse mythology inspirations in mine. And I intend to visit other (heavily changed) mythological settings as the story goes on.

[Wocalich]

I do! I don't know if anybody here knows about Circassian/Caucasian mythology but my story has elements of it. Though I made up a lot as well, since resources were very limited.

Mine borrows a decent amount from Norse mythology/folklore and morphs it into something new

My story is heavily based on mythology. It's main theme is astrology and I use mythology that goes behind it. It's sci-fi and fantasy, so there are mythical beings, zodiac sings as gods, legends, all that mythoological stuff, but also advanced technology.

That's really cool! I'll have to check that out!

[brilliiant]

That reminds me I've still gotta check yours out, I love werewolf stuff.

[brilliiant]

That's cool, that ancient aliens business seems more popular than ever these days!

I like mythology because it's cool to see stories retold with new takes, and on top of that I'm a big fan of the ancient aesthetic.

[brilliiant]

Tons.
We teach mythology off-campus. We just never thought of setting it up as a webcomic though. ^^
