Hello!

My name is Mike Rugnetta and this is Crash Course: Mythology.

Mythology is a complicated subject.

It touches on literature, history, anthropology, sociology, psychology, religion, and even science.

Have you ever tried to make a Slurpee, mixing all of the flavors together?

Mythology is exactly like that, but it's a Slurpee of knowledge, with no brain freeze and a lot to learn.

So maybe, actually a tiny brain freeze.

But a different kind of brain freeze.

What I'm trying to say is that don't be surprised if some of what you hear during the next forty or so episodes echoes some of the things you may have heard in other Crash Courses.

And don't worry if what you hear in one episode reminds you of what you've heard in another.
