cody and i had a discussion when we were doing our art projects about what constitutes myth; he declared that one of the mabinogian myths didn't count, in a way only cody can. but anyway, i do think the 9th century cut-off to be interesting. are the stories of camelot and such included in his book? because i really don't think those count as myth. they're not so heavily divorced that you can't find the archetypes, but they have far too strong a connection to chronological time, which for me is what separates myth from legends and fairy tales and whatnot.
the picture is hilarious, mostly because of several distinct groupings going on.
