Chapter One

Though the text is difficult to read and comprehend at times I still found the first chapter enthawling.  I enjoy many forms of literature and being that literature often associates with stories I enjoy exploring Mythologies as well.  As for the question, "Where did it all begin? I believe the stories will combine on themselves to produce an answer.  However, because many myths have so many different endings or even plotlines suggests there may not be a one answer that the mythological stories say.  All of them have multiple forms of the same story.  For instance, I particulary thought the story of Ariadne, Theseus, and Dionysus was interesting.  I felt for Ariadne and the heartbreak she went through with Theseus and Dionysus. Her story is a good example of multiple endings; some claimed she hung herself in the end, while others say she "Rose into the sky, where we still see her today amid the northern constellations." And some believe Dionysus ordered her to be killed.  "The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony" says that no other woman or goddess had so many deaths as Ariadne; which in mythologies could imply also that no world had so many beginnings as ours.
