Mr.
Imagine. You are driving in a car. You can't stop. But a part breaks. a tire goes flat. You need to fix and replace this tire as you go. Then another breaks. You replace it. You keep driving. The windshield wears down and breaks. You replace it. And after a while. every single part of the car breaks and is replaced over time. Eventually, you are still driving the same car, but every part is different. There are no parts left over from the original car you left in. THAT is Mythology. TRUE STORIES that have been changed little by little, till the original story is lost. Everyone thinks these stories are made up, but they weren't in the beginning. These historical events are so old, so many details changed or forgotten, that no one alive today remembers the truth.

This is really great. I have always loved mythology, known a lot, but never thought that much about what myth is. Your other episodes are brilliant too. I hope you stay with Crash Course forever. You have a great narrative voice, you make the viewer listen and you make great content. Nice work Mike! :)

Wait, wait, wait. Six seeds corresponding to six months of the year. So this myth is from after the invention of the Julian Calendar? There is a reason November and December sound like 9 and 10. There used to be fewer months

In the original aka oldest myth Persephone was never raped by Hades. I don-t like how he just goes over the Christian version of the The Raping of Persephone-. He didn-t mention that the myth was changed.

Hi
This got to be my favorite cc playlist.
Love it especially when he included big bang in mythology. Its so true.
Whats accepted as -the truth- today, is just another myth of tomorrow.

People often think myths are simply nonexistent, they lack belief of the INVISIBLE WORLD, these BEINGS very much EXIST -
