Mr. Burns; A Post-Electric Play is a really unique take on your final question. Essentially, all the power goes out and a group of people gather around and try to recount the Cape Feare episode of the Simpsons. Years go by, and troupes of performers are in a trade war to recount all these lost episodes of various television shows. Even more years go by, and this Cape Feare has essentially become Greek Theater, with singing, masks, and finally - a person on a bike generating the electricity for the show.

In 2018, I graduated with my degree in finance at the top 3% of my class with a 3. 96 GPA and 5 honors societies. I've been unemployed ever since (1 yr, 3 mo at current count, and gotten rejected everywhere from Wawa (a local convenience store) to Wall Street.
I kept explaining to job placement agencies how hopeless and endless unemployment feels, since having a job is binary (you either have one or you don't. I will now refer to it as a Sisyphean Task instead.

Do you think you could do one on Merlin and the fact he's a mix of entities with different ends? Like Myrddin Wyltt, the madman and bard, or the one where he's prince of Dyfed. I'm talking about the combination of myths and tales that make up Merlin, not merely just the popular version, the late Arthurian one.

If I had to suffer forever and was allowed to choose between the labor of Sisyphus and The torment of Tantalus. I'd take the giant rock.

But you never did zoroastrianism!
I'm deeply disappointed that you didn't cover the religion that spawned so many religions.

Sisyphus: Long-term scheming, cons everyone, clever, pisses off the Gods, cages Death itself. I think this guy might be my hero.

I think one of the myths of the future will be -The Hungry Caterpillar- just because it's so tell-able if that makes sense.
