This. People always liked drama and love triangles, even though the TV was not invented yet.

greek gods are known for their anthropomorphism though

imo greco-roman (they are similar in many ways), egyptian and norse mythology are the most interesting of the bunch, my favorite is greek but norse is good too, reason being the lots of weird stuff like zeus being a metaphorical "sex god" in a way and loki in general

I tend to stray mostly toward Native American beliefs, even though there was no set universal structure from tribe to tribe. The general idea of everything being connected and equal through nature without feeling like the gods are lightyears away in a sky-realm is a very humbling idea.

Just thought I should say that although I have no qualms with your like of Native American belief, this thread is specifically about religious mythology, not the ideologies behind the religions themselves. So do you know any of the specific beliefs about spirits and stuff we could discuss? I feel like the more superstitious, natural beliefs (like Native American spirituality) could be quite interesting to talk about, if we can find something about them in keeping with the topic.

Everyone's saying Greek mythology and now I feel like I'm just copying everyone, but I've always loved the stories. I think about how they didn't know much about how the world works, so they attributed everything to the gods, in a very imaginative way I might add. Zeus was behind all the lightning, the sun was a chariot flying across the sky, it makes you wonder how much of what we think we know now isn't actually true.

The Egyptians believed that if they didn't worship their gods enough, or perform cursing ceremonies to damage the chaos snake Apep, then it would eat the sun god Ra in his sun boat as the sun went down, and the world would be cast into eternal disorder in an apocalypse of chaos. They took their shit seriously, you weren't allowed to portray Apep without it being kept at bay by either magical text, a depiction of a powerful god, or a weapon being depicted wounding it. The Greeks used mythology for entertainment, it was a game. The Egyptians entire society was built to worship. Each new Pharaoh would dedicate their reign to a specific god, who would be worshipped especially during that time. A lot of the political elite was made up of high priests.
