In sixth grade, I was smitten with Greek and Roman mythology.  It may have been a result of my secular upbringing.  Tell a child, she can’t have religion at home and she will seek it out somewhere else.  My hunt led me to Hamilton’s Mythology, where my favorite tales were love stories; Clytie and Helios, Cupid and Psyche, Narcissus and well, …Narcissus. There were other gods and goddesses without romantic back stories that piqued my interest too, and now in the month that honors Janus, I’m reminded of him.
