    I'm particularly excited to be able to read Native American Mythology since I'm part Chickasaw! I wish there would have been an option to read a bit more about stories of Greek Gods and Goddesses, but it's a topic I'm familiar with so it will be fun to learn something new.

    Hi Sidney, just a quick note: lots of gods and goddess in the story of Cupid and Psyche, and also in the Ovid units. So if you are looking for Greek and Roman materials, they are there! Ovid's Metamorphoses link plus Cupid and Psyche link :-)
    Also, just last week I bought a really cool-looking new book but I have not read it yet about Te Ata the Chickasaw storyteller; she even has her own Wikipedia article: Te Ata Fisher link

      Hi everyone! My name is Sidney and I'm a sophomore here at OU. I'm studying Economics Pre-Law with minors in Spanish and Political Science. I'm taking this class because I was fully obsessed with Percy Jackson as a child. I love school and I thrive at school! I've wanted to be a lawyer since I was in middle school and I can and will argue with anybody. I work in the oil and gas industry as an accounting clerk and I'm considering pursuing oil and gas law after I get my bachelor's degree. After I graduate from OU, my goal is to go to law school at the University of Texas and live in Dallas after! My favorite course I've taken at the university so far is Intro to Meteorology; I've been obsessed with the weather since I was young which stems from a childhood fear of tornadoes (Oklahoma isn't the best place to live with that phobia), but learning its mechanisms was fascinating to me and I almost switched my major because of how much I loved it.

The tiger grew up and met other tigers in Wynnewood, until one day they stumbled upon a waterfall. The tigers agreed that whoever could cross the waterfall without being injured would be the Tiger King. The stone tiger volunteered himself, and on the other side of that waterfall, he found a cave where everything was made of stone. The other tigers named him the Tiger King and he ruled the land of Wynnewood.     One day, the tigers were sitting at the dinner table when the Tiger King began to weep because he feared death. All the tigers began to cry, as they feared death too. An old tiger spoke up, "You may seek immortality from the Gods and live forever among them."       The Tiger King decided at that moment that he would leave Wynnewood to seek immortality. He left the next morning and sail
