Singled out ?

Should I or should I not find it interesting that the German mythology is specifically called Pagan? Just wondering. tyvm Pudge MclameO (talk) 04:06, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Other mythologies

Under fictional mythologies, I think Sherrilyn Kenyon's work at outlying a unique and separate pantheon for Atlantean mythology should be considered separate from that of other classical mythologies see as how she has created the myths and gods that populate it in her Dark-Hunter & Dream Hunter novels.

You have to differentiate between fictitious universes per se and fictitious universes which have had a measurable effect on the real world ethos: only the second qualifies as a real mythology. She may qualify as a participant in Robert Asprin's Thievesworld collaborative series, which extended the putatively real Court of Miracles described in Victor Hugo's Notre Dame de Paris (translated into English as The Hunchback of Notre Dame) into an entire genre of works, extending beyond fantasyty fiction into games and film (Game of Thrones being a hybrid of the genre with the real world of late mediaeval/early Renaissance European politics). Howeveer, she did not initiate the movement, but was an early adherent.

A better claim for a fictitious mythology is that of neogothic paganism and neoCeltic creed, extending to Wicca, derived from works such as Robert Graves The White Goddess. This rebirth of an older creed is predominantly a fabulation, with thngs like the Welsh Eisteddfod forming various Orders of Bards and Druids which have only a tenuous relationship with the little known originals, yet has a significant cultural effect on the Principality.

Clean up on Europe in particular Celtic mythologies

I did a clean up on Europe by putting them in alphabetical order. I also added Breton, Cornish and Manx mythologies and segmented the Celtic mythologies into their divisions of Goidelic (Gaelic) and Brythonic mythologies.2A02:8084:2860:3A80:F422:F4E7:A787:6175 (talk) 12:48, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Is that map from a reliable source and are the owners of those okay with people using them?CycoMa (talk) 23:39, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This List of Mythologies categorized like this is extremely helpful

Due to the complex nature of Mythology its good to have them all listed under different regions for people like me that are trying to understand how to properly document each one appropriately.

However there is a bit of a problem with certain fantastical creatures such as the Yale which is only listed as part of Medieval European Mythology (does not specify which European Mythology sub category), and seems to affect a lot of Medieval Bestiary monsters though they have some kind of connection to Pliny the Elder; would make it connected to Roman Mythology? This is probably incorrect on my part as I'm just amateur researcher.

If someone out there can fix this problem that would be helpful that has more knowledge on these medieval creatures.

This is the page in question, and its categories for each creature is all over the place, and while some like the Basilisk is listed under Cantabrian Mythology which seems to be relatively new as I don't remember that being a thing last time I looked up the Basilisk or maybe I simply overlooked it somehow. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.124.162.10 (talk) 14:08, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
