Man with brown hair and facial hair

Hello, my name is Hunter. I'm a college student studying history with a minor in political science. I am currently in the second half of my junior year.

I live in the southeastern United States, but I have also lived in England for some time as a student. I spent my time there focused on my historical studies and I plan to take more learning journeys to other countries soon.

My historical research focus covers Antiquity, the Middle Ages, and even the Modern Day. I also have a particular interest in the history of religions and mythology.

I love to look at comparative mythology. I have spent a long time researching and reading, and I now wish to share that knowledge through my blog. I aim to tell the truth of what I know about gods, myths, and history to the best of my ability and my library.
