I haven't thought of anything brilliant about which to blog today. But, while reading through the introduction of Homeric Hymns, I thought it was pretty great of whoever put them together to include the stories that all Greeks could relate to so that no one was made to feel insignificant. Instead of name-dropping and being exclusive, they used universal myths to bring Greeks from varying backgrounds together. Today we consider the literature that practically anyone can relate to to be the best.
