Do you remember what the first piece of mythology was that you read?
What is your favorite myth?
and today it is probably “Coyote and the Mouse Girls”, a Koryak story I read in Barry Lopez’s wonderful “Giving Birth to Thunder, Sleeping with his Daughter, even if the Coyote in it isn’t really Coyote but Kutkh, the Koryak Raven-Spirit who sometimes created the world, and who has a lot of back-history with the mice, at least according to the Wikipedia entry.
Tomorrow it will be something else.
