"Since my kid was 2 years old, we've been reading books about mythology. The wonderful thing about mythology is that it doesn't leave the parent out. It's something that we can grow with over time, enjoying stories together and learning more about history."
"We love Greek mythology, but we've also branched out to other mythologies, too. We just recently read this Ellen Ryan book called Girls Who Slay Monsters, which is about all the female Irish goddesses and their stories, some of whom I wasn't familiar with before."
"Mythology is such fertile ground for characters. I love a good character as much as anyone, but most of the characters in pop culture today are owned by a big corporation. They aren't free, and they don't have this backstory."
Felicia Day is dedicated to sharing her love of mythology with her daughter, Calliope. They explore various mythological stories together, including Greek myths and Irish goddess tales. This shared interest has inspired Day's latest project, a graphic novel titled The Lost Daughter of Sparta. Day emphasizes the importance of mythology in fostering a shared learning experience between parents and children, highlighting its rich character development and historical context.
