Independent Study · Comparative Mythology
connections, motifs, and things worth remembering
A living map of the myths you've actually encountered — who's connected to whom, which motifs keep recurring, and what's worth remembering. It grows as you watch, read, and listen.
The whole Crash Course syllabus is loaded below, but it stays locked. Tick an episode when you finish it and that episode's figures, motifs, connections and quiz cards unlock everywhere — the graph, motifs, gaps and quiz all fill in. Untick to hide them again.
Read a book, watched a film, or heard a podcast instead? Tell Claude in chat (paste a transcript, or just say "I read these three Grimm tales") and it's folded in too.
Tip: ticks are saved in this browser by default. Use the "Sync" pill (bottom-right) with a personal sync code to carry them across devices — or ask Claude to "commit my ticks" to bake them permanently into the site itself.
The Crash Course syllabus runs through seven themes. You're at the start of the arc.
Tick an episode when you finish it. Seen episodes feed new figures & connections into the graph.

Films, books, and podcasts you've told Claude about — folded into the graph alongside the episodes.
These are the load-bearing connections from your creation-myth episodes — the ones worth carrying forward.
