Odysseus. In the same way that James Joyce's Ulysses is set in one location. I feel I've been on one endless journey to somewhere important...

 

Re: What's a myth that you feel currently best relates to your own lif

I am my own myth. It's still being written.

Best bartering transaction ever.

The Epic of Gilgamesh .

^^oh dear, AsboZaprudder, spring cleaning time?

^ EmoBorg, are you Gilgamesh or Enkidu? (small but vital difference as Enkidu got killed rather young while Gilgamesh sought immortality and died a very old man)


As for myself:
Religious myth: St Francis, perhaps. No money, with very good friends, environmentally considerate, economically independent and all animals trust me.

Fictional myth: Highlander. The last 30 years (hmm, make that 50...) have been one long string of fights and life-or-death decisions. Not to mention that there are days where I definitely feel 5000 years old.... Still, imo there neeedn't be just one. Two is a rather nice number and a threesome might have its charms, too, depending on the participants

I nearly beat both of you, but thought Odysseus was a better fit.

That was just Kool-Aid mix.

Nobody's seen him, and we're not sure he exists.

Zeus with the splitting headache right before Athena tumbled out. Except my Athena isn't arriving for another 7 months, and might not be a girl.
