A great surprise, since I've almost been dreading having my youthful reading memories of him shattered. I think my first Poe story was a version of "Cask of Amontillado" in Creepy...

I know I started another thread about liking really out-there "anti-heroes," but those are the exceptions in my case, so Odysseus (when he isn't a Kirk Douglas movie character) has always been a problem for me that other violent main characters in mythology somehow aren't. Since this is a "Monster Kids" forum, one epic to mention (if it hasn't been already) is The Argonautica, which is FULL of monsters.
