people who learned about greek mythology due reasons that DONT involve having read percy jackson at 12 freak me out, like what the FUCK was going on in your life that you found out that zeus turned into a pigeon to woo his wife like HOW
Some of us had Xena: Warrior Princess and access to a public library.
Or just the public library. Edith Hamilton’s Mythology and Bulfinch’s Mythology were gateway drugs enough for me. 😄
A lot of us were gifted (or found in library) D'Aulaires’ Book of Greek Myths at early ages.
And then there are some of us who owe it all to a childhood hyperfixation on Ray Harryhausen.
Ah, my sweet summer child, some of us had five TV channels and no internet growing up
