Mythology beta recently started a Myth of the Month reading group, designed to get people reading new myths and different types of myths - and then asking questions about them.. Each one is designed to last for, well, one month, to give people time to read. Some suggested ones are short, while others are longer. Even the short ones, though, are often smaller parts of larger epics; for example, the Gylfaginning is part of the Prose Edda.

The first one was held in June-July, 2015. Hopefully, we will eventually get into a proper monthly schedule (e.g. a myth for August, a myth for September, etc.).

• Myth of the Month 1: Gylfaginning

We've already gotten some questions about this topic challenge, which is a good sign.

• Myth of the Month #1: Gylfaginning
• Myth of the Month #2: The Epic of Gilgamesh
• Myth of the Month #3: Lebor Gabála Érenn

That sorta petered out. We later started a more traditional topic challenge that also had a couple incarnations:

• September Topic Challenge: Australian Aboriginal mythology
• October Topic Challenge: Navajo mythology

This, too, ended, although I would not be opposed to restarting it.

The first one started two days ago, and will last until some point (not yet decided upon) in July. Hopefully, we will eventually get into a proper monthly schedule (e.g. a myth for August, a myth for September, etc.).
