Talk:Contemporary mythology

The "Encyclopedia of Fantasy" and other sources use the term "Urban Fantasy" - should we have a link to this subject?

Urban Fantasy is fantasy fiction where the setting is contemporary urban. Contemporary mythology is an academic term, describing the current nature of the work, not the setting or motif. I don't believe the two concepts are really connected. BarkingDoc

Nice article. I tightened up the language and added a link. I also removed 2 assertions that were simply teasers: too important if true to leave unsupported, but perhaps not really true. Anyone who can support with examples is welcome to replace them. They were: (1) contemporary mythology may have more immediate applications than ancient mythology (2) contemporary mythology is usually understood to be fiction and metaphorical --- though some notable and debatable exceptions exist. Come on! Either put up an example or don't tantalize us with an intriguing but unsupported assertion like this. Thanks. Saurus 02:50, 27 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Definetly good points. Not sure what I meant when I originally wrote those. Ha! Over a year year ago. How time flies. BarkingDoc

I have redirected this page to Mythology. The previous article was unsourced original research (my mistake).BarkingDoc 22:28, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
