Fun Fact XII: Less than 1% of ancient literature has survived. In the first volume of Greek Mythology, edited by Ioannis Kakrides, (5 volume compilation of all known Greek myths, in Greek), it lists ten pages of names and writers and titles of ancient mythological works and a summary of each. About 0.3 to 0.4% of that list has actually survived.

@Gotterdammerung you have a wierd definition of fun but i'll roll with it
@Gotterdammerung dont get me wrong, I'm into the classics as much as the next guy, makes me a little sad so much has been lost tho
@skells the majority of my fun facts are aimed at my friends, addressing their interests, also to bestir them out of their slumber
