Isn't Indo-European the language group of Europeans?

@superstay: Not really.

I loved the Age of Mythology games..I wish there were more games that dealt with mythology

d^_^b

@superstay: I know north asian

@strongarm:

That seems awesome...

I'm a big fan of the stories of Ancient Greek/Roman, Norse Mythology, Egypt and I'm sure if they count but the Arthurian Legends. As well as the myths and legends of my home of New Zealand in the Maori myths.

@superstay: For eastern, I am familiar with Hindu and Chinese/Taoist mythology. I have minor knowledge on Japanese and Vietnamese myths as well.

Otherwise, I am knowledgeable on Greek/Roman mythology, Norse mythology and Egyptian mythology - as well as having some knowledge on Aztec, Mayan and Etruscan mythologies. I also possess some knowledge on the beliefs of earlier human races that come from several books I've read, but I certainly don't specialize in that.

I have some knowledge on Buddhism as well, mainly because my parents are Buddhist. I'm not religious at all, though.

@superstay: I know, their flesh gives longevity

@shootingnova:

I've been studying up on Chinese and Japanese myth...

@strongarm: How do you like them?

@shootingnova:

• Nuppeppo smells like fat people and can only be found in corpse filled area i.e. graves
• Ningyo/Mermaids tend to defend themselves

only a bite is necessary not the consumption of the entire form

I'd rather go grave hunting in japan

I am intrested in celtic mythology but I don't know much about it.

Here's another great mythology-based image:

Greek Mythology or More Mythology

Greek, Roman, Norse, and Aztec are all really interesting.

Native American and Japanese mythology is pretty interesting.

Just wanna say, I kinda hate how they portray gods in God Of War. No offence to God Of War fans.
