    What is Mythology?
    The word has several meanings. In the most general sense, it refers to any invented story. In the sense most often used on alt.mythology, it refers to a traditional story, usually very old, which has or once had significant spiritual, moral, or social significance. Professionals distinguish between mythology, legend, and folktale. Very briefly, myths are considered true by the people who tell them; they are usually set near the beginning of time and often concern the origins of things. Legends are also regarded as true, but are set later in history when the world was much as it is today. Folklore is considered false by the people telling it, and its setting in time and space is usually irrelevant. Myths are considered sacred, legends are more often secular, and folktales aren't taken seriously, at least not literally. Although this classification is useful, there is plenty of overlap, and stories range over too much territory to fit nicely in any simple classification. The references below concentrate on myths in the narrow sense, but they include a large dose of legend and folktale as well.

    49. Emerald Rose - Archives Of Ages Backstory
    inspired by the figure of Blodeuwedd from welsh mythology (The Mabinogion). retelling of the legend of the great bard Taliesin from welsh mythology.
    http://www.emeraldrose.com/archivesages/archivesbackstory.htm
    BACK to cover page A general introduction to "Archives of Ages to Come" (2005) This CD has been about two years in the creation, and is really our second full-length studio CD ("Bending Tradition" being our first, in 2000). Our intent was to focus on original songs, pulling in mythic themes and a variety of moods. We find that each song has its own life and its own speed of development, no matter what we may WANT to happen… "Dagger of the Moon" has been evolving since before 1998, and "Three More Drops" since 2001, while "For Blodeuwedd" came together in less than a week, and "We Come From Monkeys" in about three months. We feel that Emerald Rose is changing its style from a Celtic folk style into more of an "art rock" sound with Celtic roots. Listeners may find this compilation to be a bit more in line with groups like Great Big Sea, and you may hear some classic rock influences from Jethro Tull to ZZ Top here and there. We've had several instrumentation changes in the last couple of years as well: Logan has introduced the mandola in more tracks and experimented on guitar with "Nashville" and other tunings, Larry has been developing on low whistle and Uilleann pipes, and we're using more percussion based around the Roland HandSonic, often with a more of a "drumkit" rock feel. In 2004, when we had the good fortune to play for the "Return of the King" Oscars party in Hollywood, we felt it was important to have a new promotional CD for that event. We made a mad scramble to put together what new songs we had developed, along with some "classics" from previous albums, and the result was "Songs for the Night Sky" (2004). The response from fans was tremendous, and helped to reassure us that we were on the right track. This was intended from the start to be a limited release, and we always knew these songs (Urania Sings, Come To The Dance, Gwydion's Song, and Take Me Down) would appear on a full-length CD. The versions here have been remixed, enhanced, and professionally mastered.

    Prydain is a land with heroes and legends drawn from welsh mythology. In The Black Cauldron, book 2 of the series, Taran takes further steps toward manhood.
    http://www.childrenslit.com/f_lloydalexander.html
    Lloyd Alexander According to Lloyd Alexander, writers can be their own editors, but it is not a good idealike self appendectomy. Initially he didn't realize that his manuscripts would needed editing, but he soon recognized that editing his own work was impossible. He had the good fortune of having the same editor and mentor for many years. It was his editor who convinced him that there was much missing in the Prydain Chronicles which resulted in the creation of another volume Taran Wanderer
    "Writing is hard work, because a good writer is always trying to verbalize emotions and feelings." Alexander believes that schools contribute to the difficulty of becoming a writer because the inherent criticism can lead to writers block. For Alexander, the goal was to rise above it all and just write. In that, he has ably succeeded with a Newbery for the High King and numerous other awards for many of his books. However, success came only after seven years of having his work turned down by publishers.
    After a decade of writing for adults, Alexander turned to children's books. It was, Alexander says, "the most creative and liberating experience of my life. In books for young people, I was able to express my own deepest feelings far more than I ever could when writing for adults." Alexander states that he has not yet discovered all he wants to know about writing and realizes that he never will. "All that writers can do is keep trying to say what is deepest in their hearts."

    • Dennis Abse, Journals from the Antheap
      (Century Hutchinson). Abse's prose, more accessible than his poetry, succeeds in being wry, serious and provocative at the same time. Much of this volume deals with journeys in his native Wales, which he describes with verve and tongue-in-cheek humour.
    • George Borrow, Wild Wales
      (Century). Highly entertaining easy-to-read account of the author's walking tour of Wales in 1854, which says as much about Borrow and his ego as it does about Wales and the Welsh, who he treats with benign condescension.

    "I heard the word and I thought it was just the most beautiful sound. The whole reason Rhiannon is in my life is because of the sound of the name... Rhiannon never loses it's thing; it's the first song I sit and play at the piano. Whenever I play anything at the piano I always start playing Rhiannon first. It's just such a pretty song."
    ~Stevie Nicks "Okay, this next song, is a brand new song, um...
    It's called 'Rhiannon,' which is a Welch (sic) female name...
    Uh, I got it out of a book about a lady with two personalities, and I thought it was so fascinating, that I just had to write a song about her.
    She's a little weird, but I hope you like it, 'cause it's brand new... (laughs)"
    ~Stevie Nicks introducing the song 'Rhiannon' before a 1974 Buckingham Nicks performance "I read the name of it in a... in a, just a novel, and really liked it and thought, 'that's really a beautiful name.' Sat down, tap, tap, tap... about 10 minutes later wrote Rhiannon. We think that she was, in fact, Queen and that her memory became the myth. I definitely feel that there's a presence..."

    ACANTHA f Greek Mythology (Latinized)
    "thorn, prickle" from Greek akantha. In Greek legend she was a nymph loved by Apollo. ACHILLES m Greek Mythology (Latinized)
    Meaning unknown, perhaps derived from Greek achos "pain" or else from the name of the Achelous River in Greece. This was the name of a warrior in Greek legend, one of the central characters in Homer's 'Iliad'. The bravest of the Greek heroes in the war against the Trojans, he was killed by an arrow to his heel, the only vulnerable part of his body. ADONIS m Greek Mythology
    "lord" (Semitic). In Greek myth Adonis was a handsome young shepherd killed while hunting a wild boar. The anemone flower is said to have sprung from his blood. Because he was loved by Aphrodite, Zeus allowed him to be restored to life for part of each year. The Greeks borrowed this character from various Semitic traditions, hence the Semitic origins of the name.

    Susan Cooper's The Dark is Rising
    This is a series I cannot give enough praise to. The books in this series are Over Sea, Under Stone The Dark is Rising Greenwitch The Grey King (a Newbery award winner), and Silver On the Tree (a Newbery Honor book). These books combine Arthurian legend, Celtic myths, and the classic battle of Dark and Light to create a wonderful fantasy series based in modern England and Wales.
    Over Sea, Under Stone is about a group of kids on vacation who end up looking for and finding the Holy Grail. The Dark Is Rising is about a boy named Will who finds out that he is the last of the Old Ones to have been born and is bound to help defend the world against darkness. Will and the other children eventually get together in a series of adventures and battles to save the world and push back the dark. These books are powerful and beautifully written. They are a little more difficult both in reading level and conceptually than the Lloyd Alexander books. Susan Cooper has also written some other fun stories including The Boggart , the story of a castle-haunting ghost which is accidentally transported to a normal Canadian home inside a locked desk.
