It probably helps that I’m going through and reading parts of the Ulster Cycle; in particular the part about the Tuatha Dé Danann, back before they were associated with being faeries. So, given the fact that Greek myth has worked it’s way into the show, would you like seeing more mythology explored, perhaps seeing a sylph in Fairytale Land would be nice?’
You are probably a fan of Yeats, then, as I am. Is your ancestry Irish?
Mythology does spill a little into fairy tale i.e. fairies and mermaids, and I thought of the Lady of the Lake in the Frederick episode. I don’t think getting too much into the mythology would be a good idea in ONCE, only because it would become too convoluted. Mythology is so expansive that it is incredibly difficult to represent well, as we’re seeing by the mediocre treatment of recent movies like Troy, Thor, and Clash and Wrath of the Titans, unfortunately none altogether true to their mythologies, and done more as comic book adventure than meaty explorations. I would, however, love a series comparable to ONCE focusing on mythology.
