Introduction to Myth was assigned to me the summer before I took an Advanced Placement English Literature class; I did not hold much hope for Stillman, but once I began reading I was amazed. Stillman forces you to look at all myths differently. I realized my conception of Myth was wrong, and I was using the wrong definition for myth.

Stillman should be read before reading any classical myth because it helps you understand.
