I can't wait to get into some of these readings! Specifically, I am looking forward to Ancient Egypt, Ramayana, The Monkey King, King Arthur, and Dante's Inferno. All of the readings I mentioned, with the exception of Inferno, feature gods and goddesses from the video game I enjoy playing called Smite. I am highly interested in hearing the mythology and lore of the gods and goddesses in these chapters. I am least interested in the Native American unit, unfortunately. The readings in that unit didn't appeal to me as much as others. I will probably do some of the extra readings in a couple of the units just because there were so many articles I was interested in!
