I have always been fascinated by Greek and Roman mythology, and reading the beginning of this book, even though it circles you around quite a bit with all of the information it is shuffling you through, is great. I recognize so many mythological names within the first chapter that it piqued my curiosity. The repetition of bull-like figures or human-like horned beings does bring about a few questions.
-What was going on back then that made bulls prime subjects of mythological power and imagery?
-Why are the gods the ones being related or affiliated to these creatures?
-Was cattle popular like that back in the day when things cost a nickel???
