| High school students think a good deal about love. In fact, you may spend more time thinking about the opposite sex than you do studying your Latin homework. Well, it was the same in the year 80 A.D., or 1901 B.M.T.V. -- "Before MTV." However, the love stories you will encounter here deal with goddesses and gods as well as mortals. They often try to explain some aspect of the natural world: how a particular spring of water came into existence, or why the berries of a mulberry tree are red. And you may notice that their idea of romantic love was not quite the same as yours or mine. |
