&lt;p>greek mythology is not a scripture. there is no canonical text, no founding prophet, no council that fixed the stories &amp;mdash; only a sprawling, self-contradicting body of tales told and retold for over a thousand years, from bronze-age hymns to roman verse. the myths were the connective tissue of greek life: they explained the cosmos, named the gods you sacrificed to, decorated the temple you walked past, and supplied the plots of the plays you watched at a state festival. to read them as mere fairy tales is to miss that a greek farmer, athlete, sailor and playwright all lived &lt;em>inside&lt;/em> this material.&lt;span class="margin-note" data-note="the greeks had no word for ">

&lt;p>six traditions account for most of humanity&amp;rsquo;s religious life: hinduism, buddhism, judaism, christianity, islam and daoism. studied side by side they stop being a list of exotic facts and start being a set of answers to the same handful of questions &amp;mdash; what is ultimately real, what is a human life for, how should we act, and what do we do about death.&lt;span class="margin-note" data-note="these notes grew out of a comparative religion course i took as a gen-ed; the structure --- themes cutting across traditions rather than one tradition at a time --- is the most useful thing i kept from it">
