   The best introduction on the study of mythology that I know about is   
   the first chapter of Vecsey's _Imagine Ourselves Richly_.  Or if you   
   want a more extensive treatment, _Sacred Narrative_ edited by Dundes.   
      
   If you want myths themselves, go to a library, look up "myth" and head   
   to that section, and dive in.

    "Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of   
     the leaders.  That is easy.  All you have to do is tell them they are   
     being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and   
     exposing the country to danger." -- Hermann Goering
