"Do you enjoy Myth for the subject or for the research, the Mythology?

Vanth sounds like an interesting character. I'ver never heard of her but I must delve deeper.
I picked up a book on Greek Myths a while back and utterly fascinating it was too. I just read them for fun though - nothing academic involved.
One fascinating thing I came across was a book by Tim Severin and his attempt to retrace the voyage of the Argo. He came across a place on the Black Sea coast where they used a fleece to filter gold from the river. This is the wonderful thing about myths - sometimes there's a bit of truth there as well
