One of the big attractions for the students in my Myth-Folklore and Indian Epics class are exactly those kinds of connections - either to fantasy fiction that they are passionate about, or video games. Have you ever read the Indian epics the Ramayana or the Mahabharata? They really are awesome - I think the reason my students enjoy them so much, the Ramayana especially, is that these sacred ancient Indian texts have a lot in common with modern fantasy writing. The English versions of both the Ramayana and the Mahabharata by William Buck are wonderful if you are interested in giving them a try! :-)</p> Hi Ryan!

I am always fascinated to learn more about the background of characters I read of in later fantasy literature.
