Hello all,
Very excited to be a part of this amazing community. I wanted to put forward this question, which, as an educator, is near to my heart.
What is your favorite myth or folktale (from any culture of course) and what lesson do you think it teaches about life?
Let's share the stories that shape our thoughts.

Hi Hanged! Welcome to our little corner of the Internet! I don't have time to answer your question just now, but wanted to acknowledge your post.
What do you teach?
Oh, my blink response to your question is the Theseus myth. Tomorrow it could be Odysseus. The why's will have to wait. :-)
Cheers,
Clemsy

But right of the cuff I would say the myths that has influenced me most are the ones of Krishna. What lesson does it teach? I would say, what life is.
