Can I get #69 from the book questions list? I swear this isn't because of the number, I just really love myths.

69: your favourite myth retelling

Aru Sha and the end of time by Roshani Chokshi

So this book is from the Rick Riordan Present collection thing, so it's got like a Percy Jackson vibe, but this one is based on Hindu mythology. The main character Aru Sha is the reincarnation of one of the 5 Pandava bothers (they're the protagonists of the Hindu epic poem the Mahabharata). She lives in a museum (her mom's an archeologist) and because of reasons I don't remember, Aru lights a cursed lamp that released an acient demon and freezes time. Also there's a talking Pidegon named Boo who's just a grumpy mentor and my favorite character.

Plus it's a series! It's 5 books, 4 of which are out (the last one comes out in April) and the whole thing is very good

(2/2) understood as religious truth about jesus christ. the stories offer insight about the cultural time and place they are written using imagery and symbolism of the gods, they are not necessarily relgious truth about the gods, which is why so many of the stories contradict one another (e.g., how can zeus and hera be understood as the ideal married couple they represented in greek society while also having zeus commit adultery all the time? because it isn't meant to be that literal).

Well, yes, I agree. Myths are not literal truths, they are the most human way of teaching and understanding. What happens though is that greek mythology in special is pratically the first form of studying psychology. It’s the acient understanding of psychoanalysis, that’s why it’s always mentioned to this days by so many people.My problem is that they are still representation of humans acts. Yes, Hera and Zeus are the perfect couple, at the same time Zeus commits adultery all the time. It’s supposed to be contradictory because they represent humans characteristics in a bigger scale. It’s criticising, to make you think.So to say that Zeus and other gods were not the represantation of male violence and is just “how times were”, feels extremely wrong to me.And that’s why we love discussing greek mythology. It’s like that exactly to show us how our minds are confusing and contradict our own thoughts. I won’t comment on the Bible because it represents a living religion. The same reason I won’t discuss the Hindu myths or gods.And don’t feel the need to send in anon? I will never be mean or go after you.I enjoy respectful discussions and am always open to learning more!Thank you for being polite on your messageJust understand that we have our own standarts now, figures like Zeus are bad. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t talk about them! Quite the opposite actually.Hope this shed some light on the problem bud
