Tumblr Tuesday!

Send your sacrifices (recommendations, perhaps?) to By the Gods! and we’ll make sure you get whatever it is you desire. Trust us, we’ve got friends in high places.

mrawbot asked: I'm really interested in mythology, which is why I love your blog so much, but my school pretty much only offers classical Greek and Roman. Are there any books you would recommend for other, lesser-known mythologies?
