Greek and Roman Mythology

I have decided there is something wrong with me. I cannot seem to enjoy this course. I keep at it, and I won't give up, but it's a chore.

It's not the fault of the professor. He's engaging and passionate. In fact, if it were not for his insights I think I would have given up long ago. No, he is giving it his very best. I do not blame him at all.

But this is incredibly popular stuff. It has had incredible staying power. Classic stories that have inspired...well, just about everything since. Today's great writers, and many other people, love this stuff. Modern culture derives from this.

WHAT AM I MISSING?
