    This site is meant to serve as an introduction to literature students to orient ourselves in the functions of myths and their relationship to literary works. 

Cross cultural connections are emphasized.  Examples will be drawn from both East and Western culture, namely Chinese, Indian, Greek and Anglo-American culture. 

The site  contains primary mythical stories, analyses, tasks and guide to teaching resources with special reference to the syllabus in both AS level English literature and CE level literature in Hong Kong. This, however is meant to be a site which can be read independently as its own.  Please e-mail me your comments.
